- Have you ever thought about visiting Minneapolis-Saint Paul in Minnesota? In this Minneapolis-Saint Paul travel guide we explore the Mall of America, downtown Minneapolis show you guys around Saint Paul downtown and around the Mississippi river while we are out and about doing a walking tour. Minneapolis metropolitan area is actually the 18th largest in America and considering that it is so far north it was once known as America's Siberia. We rode the Amtrak route called the Empire builder into St Paul from Milwaukee.

I often forget that it’s considered “cold” here. The changing seasons are beautiful. The real treat is the smaller restaurants outside of the cities. Sitting on a patio by the lake in summer is what we live for. Makes you really appreciate the nice weather when you have it.
Ill be there in a few weeks - which restaurants do you recommend?
@@n.r.8719 in St. Paul: Meritage. Lovely venue, everyone I’ve brought has raved.
Minneapolis: Martina, they have a fantastic cocktail menu as well, if you can only stop for a drink.
Outside of the cities there’s plenty of cute spots to hit up, I’m a craft cocktail girl so I’d recommend:
The velveteen, in Stillwater. It’s a speakeasy style cocktail bar with amazing drinks. Not really somewhere you’d go for a bite to eat, though. Stillwater is a gorgeous city in itself to walk around. You can basically Uber there and just walk from spot to spot. It’s on the river, and everywhere you go the drinks and food are great. Lolito cantina is another great Stillwater hang. Leo’s malt shop, another classic. You can dine in or walk up outside to the window to order.
In white bear lake, there’s a spot on the lake called admiral D’s- it’s not the *most amazing* food, but sitting on a patio by the lake eating alcoholic ice cream is a fave of mine. Get the monkey business. It’s so good.
I’m from about 25 minutes away from Minneapolis and St. Paul so a lot of my recs aren’t in the city itself. This isn’t really a comprehensive list but, there’s plenty of those on the internet lol. Hope you enjoy your stay and get a sense of “Minnesota nice” while you’re here
Sounds a lot Wisconsin! Greetings from there. 🛶🐿🙋🏻♂️
What a beautiful city - the Mississippi looks majestic. A true gem - love from Manchester, UK.
I am from Russia and i've visited this fine city way back in 2014, but during winter which was especially harsh that year. Even by local standards. I remember my friends from MN telling me: well, you're from Russia, this must be nothing to you. And i was like: Yeah, we have weather like this in July, big deal... In reality it was insanely cold. In Moscow, we never have winters like those in Minnesota. What a severe, strong and beautiful city Minneapolis is! Still has a special place in my heart. Hope visiting it in summer some day.
😂
Yakutz: Hold my beer
I visited St Petersburg RU back in in May 2006 and the weather was nice but the first
thing that I noticed was all the hot beautiful women everywhere in St Pete and Moscow! It's so sad that Russia is on our travel caution list.and who wants to go there and end up in prison? I don't think Putin would issue me a visa after all the bad things I've said about him on Facebook lol!
@@joefisher1972 not once did I say anything bad about Biden in VK, yet he won't issue me a visa anyway!
@MrOvnours I agree with you and it's probably because the US government is discriminating against good Russian people and it's not fair to you to not be issued a tourist visa. Most people are illegally entering the US from the southern border so it makes no sense to me to screw with people who are obeying the law when traveling.
@@joefisher1972 well it's a bit more complicated than that actually. The thing is that the US consulates simply don't work in Russia as well as ours don't work in the US. We have expelled so many each other's diplomats that there's physically no one to issue (or not to issue) visas. You can of course go to any neighboring country to get a visa there, but for that you gotta have extra time, extra cash, and extra nerves lol. I don't feel as much discriminated as being taken for an idiot. Despite all sanctions and countersanctions, there is actually trade going on between Russia and the US, including the most sanctioned spheres like oil & gas or microelectronics. But God forbid tourists travel freely between these two countries! No, no, we will mutually ban 'hostile' airlines from our airspace and won't issue people visas. That will drive Russia out of Ukraine / make America stop blowing up our pipelines... This is ridiculous.
I raised my children in Minneapolis and they still live there. I've since moved to Texas due to the harsh cold winters. But I loved living in the Twin Cities. The public transportation is great, the diverse cultures represented, the fine arts, sports, a vibrant downtown. AND the home of PRINCE!!! Your video was good, but I know due to the time, you missed many attractions like the Minnehaha Falls, the big Cherry on the spoon sculpture. I love visiting, but as you mentioned, I only visit now from June thru Sept...don't want to get caught in the snow. BUT, this being a winter city, there is plenty to do during those winter months. Thanks for a great representation of my town.
The best Infrastructure anywhere and so beautiful in the summer at the lakes.
The Wild play in St Paul at the Xcel Center
This makes me miss Minneapolis. Spring-Early October is great. I would skip MoA and go to Minnehaha falls and and Uptown and Bde Maka Ska. Then go down Grand Ave in St Paul. Eat at Louis on the roof of Cosseta’s in St Paul. Stone Arch Bridge is an awesome walk. Especially great to watch July 4th fireworks.
It's not called the St. Paul Carnival; it's called Winter Carnival, and it takes place in St. Paul.
Just want to add some interesting info, and I'm not even a resident of Minnesota. The Twin Cities are unique in that there are two pretty vibrant cities just a few miles apart from one another. (Dallas-Ft. Worth is not in any way comparable, since those two downtowns are 30 miles apart.) And there is an incredible culture of arts there. Not one, but TWO Grammy-award-winning professional orchestras (sorry, I'm an orchestra geek, LOL). And there are more professional live theaters per capita than any city in the US other than New York (the Guthrie mentioned in the video has won a Tony Award). There is also the Walker, which is widely considered to be one of the Big Five modern art museums in the country. And I've seen that multiple restaurants and chefs have won many James Beard awards in the last 10 years.
And my god, there's a crap-ton of Fortune 500 corporations headquartered there, which probably explains why it is such an affluent metro. I checked, and last count there were 17 F500 companies headquartered there. I think that's the 4th or 5th largest concentration of gigantic corporations in the US. Far more than other comparable metros like Seattle, Atlanta or Denver. I believe Minneapolis also has the headquarters of the world's largest Private Corporation - Cargill - but correct me if I'm wrong.
I travel a lot. The Twin Cities are an underrated gem and I'm always happy to spend time there.
Thanks for the tour. I'm visiting Minneapolis from the UK in September to watch the Vikings and Twins. Looking forward to it!
I love my city and I’m proud to be a Minnesotan
Yeah if you take away black lives matter and all the riots and police shootings all the protest that happened sure you might have a great City
@@chrisgatlin5832 nice right wing virtue signaling there buckaroo. Minneapolis is probably one of the best cities in the nation. Definitely ranked one of the most livable. I am thankful that Minne has a politically conscious population because it makes the place better. About police shootings: we will hopefully be the biggest city in America to finally abolish that system.
@@jessewerbow1527 lmao. Miami or Houston or Boise are great cities. Minneapolis is a trash can thanks to its far left voter base reflected in the loser city council and nutjob leftist residents. Keep thinking your bubble is pristine while the entire nation laughs at you guys.
@@chrisgatlin5832 ok as real Minnesotan let tell you real history Minnesota is indigenous word us vikings decents who came here around 1021AD as frist eroupeans to come here and not colonized the indigenous people and btw Minnesota indigenous name stands for how blue or how grey the sky looks
Now they allowed Muslim prayer call over loud speaker - a noise pollution, which even some middle east countries have banned. Something to be proud of!!
Minneapolis is calling me! I just might have to answer, I love that little city. idgaf about the cold. Great for cycling (rated #1 by Bicycle Magazine in fact), lovely people, beautiful areas and quite affordable. It's not where I'm from but it feels like home to me.
I love my city and proud to be a Minnesotan.
Beautiful City!!!! Hello from Brazil
Make sure to visit North Minneapolis and South Minneapolis. Lovely representations of Minneapolis.
October isn't that bad in Minneapolis. A light sweater and you'll be fine.
I would argue with your statement that only four months each year are comfortable, weather-wise. Better to say that eight months are comfortable, and maybe December through March are too cold for most people.
The Twins get their name because of the Twin Cities. Wow, I never thought of that. I like the way you figured that out.
Interesting video, but oh my, he omitted some of the most beautiful attractions of the Twin Cities. I lived in Minneapolis/St. Paul(mostly Minneapolis) for over 40 years. One of the most beautiful attractions is the chain of lakes in Minneapolis....beautiful beaches and city skylines, and great(free!) music concerts all summer long! In addition, Minneapolis is home of the famous Minnehaha Park, a gorgeous attraction with the Minnehaha Falls, a 50-foot waterfall. Both cities also have terrific bike paths, so you can bicycle for miles without having to ride on city streets. Also, the South Minneapolis neighborhoods, in particular, have their own special "vibes", especially The Wedge and Whittier neighborhoods...very unconventional and welcoming. Both neighborhoods have a yearly "Cat Tour" where hundreds of residents walk the streets to be greeted by their local cats. And Minneapolis is home to Powderhorn Park, host of the locally famous May Day Parade.....a wonderful celebration where everyone can participate if they wish.....lots of giant puppets, folks walking on stilts, and young kids in their Mayday costumes; nothing else like this.
The timberwolves play at the Target Center, but the Wild play at the Xcel Energy center in St. Paul. Great video!

Born and Raised. I left when I was 13. Love my city and still visit
As a person who lives in Edmonton Canada ,Minneapolis would be the hottest place by far 😅
This city looks beautiful
Good to see you again. Follow you on your Arizona channel, but seriously thinking of moving to Minneapolis and while doing research this video came up on my feed. Thank you, as I learned a lot about the city watching this.
wow this is really beautiful, i hope to visit one day ♥️
thank you for lovely guide!!!!
I was born in Minneapolis and lived here my whole life off and on. Other than Chicago I consider TC the gem of the Midwest. Obviously I’m biased. But I love it here. I travel a lot for work, and I’m always so glad to come home.
Thank you for that nice showing . I get alot informations
Such a beautiful city.. I hope that I can visit this year.
Thanks for this video, it was great!
I have been to MSP once and got a very good impression. As your video shows the Twin cities has lots of parks, lakes, bike pathes and is very green. Also, experienced the "Minnesota Nice" from the locals.
Thank you for sharing this video! Cheers, Britt
Excelent video thanks for sharing!!
So much memories! Missing MN already! From an Int'l student.
love your cool, iinformative videos. great job!
Watched! Such great detail to capturing such a great city! Booked a trip in Cold December 2022 for my Bday! Hope I won't regret it!!! A Mary Tyler Moore Fan! Appreciated the detail to her statue! Will definitely visit snow storm or shine!
I'm moving to South Dakota I will be 3 hours from Minneapolis I can't wait to go visit there and go to the Mall of America.I've never been to Minnesota.
Beautiful city
AMEN
Wow cool video! Love the tour my friend :)
The wild play in St. Paul at the excel energy center
Thanks for sharing the amazing Minnesota Travel Guide my friends!
The north loop is my favorite part of the city
This is facts
Thank you so much for the video tour. You actually showed the place I will be moving into 11/22/21 and how close it is to the lite rail.
Excellent tour
So far one of the best videos
fantastic video.
Even as a Minnesotan (from Duluth) I forget how cool the twin cities really are and just how big they are.
The minnesota Wild play in St. Paul at the Xcel energy center.. we are the state of hockey for a reason.. just putting that out there!!!
I am going to see Metallica at US Bank Stadium in August and this video was helpful! Thanks!
The State Capitol building of Minnesota is one of the most gorgeous Renaissaince-Noveau buildings on the planet. Scrap that, it's possibly up there with the finest buildings of all time. St Paul's of London, the Basilica of Santa Mariza, Palazzo Contarini, Washington Capital and the Marciano library in Venice all fall short of the glory in Minnesota State Capitol.
Only the Wrigley building in Chicago can really match it for plain, honest niceness. The whole city of Minnesota just has this nice vibe to it. I know about the riots, but in general the city looks so clean. It looks like the cleanest metropolis ever.
Proud MINNESOTAN!
we have an outdoor Baseball Stadium because it is better to be outside plus we are hearty people here in Minnesota we can brave any weather
People exaggerate the cold. There's only snow on the ground from mid December to mid March. That's 3 months. Everything else is summertime lol.
Not really. In 2020 late October we got close to 10 inches.
@@Idontknow46262 Sounds nice, how much snow did you get.
Honestly 8 months out of the year is not accurate. But it also depends on what cold is to dofferent people. Some think 60° is cold. Of course to minnesotas own its only cold for a few months.
Great video! Minnesota is such a beautiful place to visit and live. You always have your bad parts of each city, but the twin cities will always be home! GO PACK GO! lol
nice informative video.
I ❤Minneapolis
Mmn wild play at the Excel energy arena in downtown St Paul and also we are the 16th biggest metro in the US not 18th just thought I'd correct you being that I lived here most of my life
Nice
I hope that I visit Minneapolis one day. I want to take a tour of Paisley Park.
That's how I feel.
My dream city. I hope I go there from Britain
We think it’s cool that people from the uk and Sweden like it here so much ! Respect ✊🏽
@@rossihendrix6150 yes, indeed. I love to settle in the states. I hope one day I move to Minneapolis 🇬🇧❤🇺🇸
Nice video
Ive been to many big cities in the US. I think minneapolis is the cleanest city ever in states. What yall think?
Correction, Was
@@jamesbarnes9504 still is
You may be due for a walking tour...
@@MEMENZO- I went up there last year, Lake Street is destroyed
Nope. That would be Charlotte NC
The Minnesota Wild NHL team plays in St. Paul at Xcel Center, downtown.
Nice place.
I am from Bangladesh.
Look nice
Nice city
Such a great tour thru the city, thank you. Did you fly a drone above the falls to capture that footage? It looks pretty cool.
Same kind of weather as here in Edinburgh Scotland just you get colder winters and more snow honestly don’t know why people say Scotland is so cold when many places in the United States are colder
Great video but DUUUUUUDE! You were right outside the First Avenue club and you didn't mention Prince?!?! You don't go to MPLS and leave a detail like that out!!!
First Avenue is one of the nation's premier rock and music venues. Read up about it, not a theater!
Guess he never watched Purple Rain.
West Edmonton Mall in Alberta, Canada is the largest mall in North America.
Minneapolis always reminds me a little of Stockholm, Sweden.
Hi most minneaotas are Scandinavia decents from minnesota Skol :D well way up north tbh we settled in and near the Canadian boarder
So you can se so many Somalis like in Sweden.
@@zell863 Is that a bad thing?
Only with more Somalis.
so ? somalis are chill why you hating on black people
@@ashleyjennings5224
Born and raised in the Mpls metro area, don’t forget that you’ll get carjacked if you decide to take a trip here. If not the feral youth will disrupt your trip either way.
Born n raised in the city of MPLS
South side!!!
Wow I would love to live there after my husband retires out of the army.
Why did your husband join the army
As a Minnesota hockey fan, I'm disappointed, man. The Minnesota Wild has their own stadium in St. Paul called Excel Energy Center. Just wanted to avoid confusion, *they don't play at Target Center.*
You didn’t watch the whole video. He went to the Xcel Energy Center and clarified that’s where the Wild play.
Gorgeous city as usual might as well copy & paste the comment no most US Videos
I heard that the mall in Edmonton Alberta Canada is bigger than that one.
I had no idea bridges allowed you to go from one side to the other. 13:07
First Avenue is not a theater. It is a world famous nightclub.
I rode on the light rail day 1 of opening for a twins game
Timberwolves play at target center in Minneapolis and the wild play at EXEL energy center in saint Paul
Didn’t even check out Calhoun or uptown smh
The fact that the MOA is so empty is a harbinger of the future of this building.
💥
Not to be critical or anything but there are lots of bars around target field, and it’s called winter carnival not st Paul carnival
Minnesota Wild ice hockey play in St. Paul at Xcel center, fyi... not Target Center :)
Would be lovely to see a track based on this city in Mario Kart Tour
Que lindo, lástima no me dieron la visa, como si a mis 69 años, quisiera ir a " camellar" ahí!
We are new emigrants to USA
and they are gonna take us to minnesota
I don't know to accept or not
Any recommendation plezzzzzzzzz
Love this but what about the walker are centre
Anyone got a video of the sonder extended stay apartments??
Just out of curiosity, why are there barely any people on the streets? I see only a handful of people in each shot. The park was completely empty on a nice summer day? Is it the time of day or is it generally like this?
Mall of America dwarfs Dubai Mall.
Minneapolis sits on the border of Wisconsin and Minneapolis
And what’s the best airport to fly into ?
Nice video, but the dude needs to get his facts straight. The Wild play at the Xcel Center in downtown St. Paul and the mall in Edmonton is the biggest one in North America.
He corrected himself near the end of the video. And he said the Mall of America is the biggest in the US, which is true. He didn't say "North America."
Dude, seriously 8 months cold here? Hope, maybe 5-6 of cold to cool then ugly humid hot from July - September.
