About Minneapolis

Separated by the mighty Mississippi, the Twin Cities are home to over three million people. With a low crime rate, a clean, attractive setting, and plenty of cultural attractions, the Minneapolis area is considered one of the best places in the country to live - harsh winters excepted. The more modern of the Twin Cities, Minneapolis is the proud home of the Metro Dome and a sprawling city-center whose glass and steel skyscrapers seem to reach for the future. The city also boasts the world-famous Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Guthrie Theater, birthplace of the American Regional professional theater movement. In addition to the Mississippi, the area has numerous bodies of water - Lake Calhoun, Lake Harriet and the Lake of Isles provide plenty of outdoor recreation in the warm and ice-fishing months. The area is also a golfer's paradise, with over 100 public courses within a 45 minutes drive of downtown. For shoppers, the colossal Mall of America offers over 500 stores, plus an amusement park, an aquarium and other attractions. The area is also a hotbed for new music, having produced Prince and alternative legends, The Replacements.

Did you know?

Minneapolis's name was derived from a combination of Sioux and Greek words meaning "city of waters." No name could suit the area better - 22 lakes exist within the city limits and afford Minneapolis the nickname "City of Lakes."
