City Break Minneapolis

Prosperous, clean and bright, Minneapolis is known as the City of Lakes and is one of the most pleasant city break destinations in the American heartland.

A lively city with a modern outlook, the skyline of Minneapolis is punctured by its sleek skyscrapers, while its many malls, cafes, restaurants and entertainment venues have a distinctly big-city feel to them.

A prime example is the stunning Mall of America – a vast underground shopping experience that is one of the most-visited tourist attractions in the US. As well has housing hundreds of stores including famous brands such as Bloomingdale's and selling everything you could ever think of, the mall features an aquarium, Lego fun park, a wedding chapel and so much more.

If you can ever manage to drag yourself away from bargain-hunting on your city break, step out to enjoy the great outdoors at one of the many scenic lakes and parks in Minneapolis, or head down the Mississippi river to its twin city, St Pauls, for a look at its traditional buildings and monuments.

As you would expect from a city with the stature of Minneapolis, there is a thriving artistic and cultural scene, with musical entertainment particularly abundant, thanks in part to the city's most famous son, Prince.

Minneapolis boasts a wide and varied range of accommodation options, some of the best of which we have chosen for you to make sure you get the best out of your city break.
