Minneapolis

Minneapolis is an ideal combination of natural beauty and urban sophistication. No other American city has a chain of lakes, the mighty Mississippi, and 200 miles of walking, biking, and cross-country ski trails literally steps from the most vibrant arts and music scene outside of New York City, the best shopping in the region, and museums among the best in the country. From ski slopes to shopping malls, Muskie to Monet, bicycling to beef bourguignon, Minneapolis is the American city where natural and urban drama coexist.
