Minneapolis | AllCheapFares

From an urban sculpture garden to one of the largest malls in America, Minneapolis boasts an abundance of unique sights. Throughout the city, neighborhoods house unique shops and ethnic eateries, while the Mississippi River and more than 20 lakes within the city limits add to the landscape. During your stay, you will find no shortage of leisure activities in the area, including cultural events, professional sports and festivals galore. The city boasts of three world-class museums, and has more theatres per capita than any other city outside of New York. Culture is not only supported here but thrives. A string of lakes along the west side of town features many old, large and expensive homes nestled amid more comfortable middle- and working-class residential neighborhoods. A drive or walk around The Lakes, from Cedar Lake with its public and "Hidden" beaches in the north, around Lake of the Isles with its bird sanctuary island, Lake Calhoun and Lake Harriet in the south, emptying into Minnehaha Creek, will reveal some of the most picturesque houses with spectacular views of the lakes. Lake Calhoun and Lake of the Isles could be called the most popular in the city-thousands of people can be found walking, biking, running, swimming, skating and boating on and around them.
