The largest city in Minnesota, Minneapolis, is home to more than 400,000 people. It forms the metropolitan area known as the Twin Cities with St. Paul, the state’s capital. This Midwestern city rests along the banks of the mighty Mississippi River and offers plenty of activities to enjoy. You can head to the Mill City Museum and learn about the history of mills along the river—the museum is housed in the ruins of a historic mill. If you like to spend time outdoors, a trip to Minnehaha Falls is worth your time. This park offers walking trails and views of waterfalls along Minnehaha Creek. Or, head into trendy uptown where you can enjoy plenty of bars and restaurants. But sometimes, when you’re in such a great hotel, you just want to relax and get cozy. So, we’ve listed some of the best staycation spots in Minneapolis. Read on to check the top 10 staycation spots in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
