The capital city of Minnesota is Saint Paul. Saint Paul and Minneapolis are called Twin City since they are the largest cities in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area. Even though they are called Twin City, they are different. Minneapolis is known for its numerous skyscrapers and energetic nightlife. On the other hand, St. Paul is perceived as a historic city that focuses on classic architecture and traditions. These cities offer you a completely different experience. People say St. Paul is green and quiet, while Minneapolis is a city that never sleeps. You just have to choose between calm and busy city experience.
Minnesota is considered the land of lakes. There are over 10,000 lakes in this country and no matter where you go, you will come across a lake. The largest lake in Minnesota is Lake Calhoun, and it is a part of the Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway. The lake is a popular tourist attraction because it is surrounded by parks and encircled with walk and bike trails. Also, there are athletic fields around the lake and also the famous Lake Calhoun Sailing School. If you are an art lover, you should visit Minneapolis Institute of Art which holds more than 83,000 pieces of art or you could visit the famous Guthrie Theater which is considered the city’s most precious treasure.

If you are wandering through the streets of Minneapolis or St. Paul, feel free to ask any pedestrian for directions, and they will be more than happy to help you. Furthermore, be prepared for cold weather when visiting Minnesota. You should always wear warm layers of clothes because you can be cold even while sunbathing by the lake. Also, if you plan to go hiking don’t forget to bring comfortable shoes. Also, if you are visiting Minnesota between October and April, expect a lot of snow and be ready to spend a lot of your time indoors due to the harsh winter. You can visit Nickelodeon Universe theme park in the Mall of America, The Great Wolf Lodge in Bloomington that consists of an indoor water park, miniature bowling alleys, climbing wall, an arcade and live-action adventure challenge – MagiQuest, or if you are an animal lover, you can visit the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory.
