Overview of Minneapolis
The largest city in Minnesota, Minneapolis is the seat of Hennepin County and the sister city of Saint Paul. New England, Scandinavian and German emigrants settled in this city of seasons, quickly becoming a transportation hub and fertile flour-milling center shipping the milled grain to the rest of the nation (today both sides of the Mississippi River are tamed and bypassed by lock and dam). Now known for its phenomenal museums, an active theater and fine arts community (Weisman Art Museum, the Walker Art Center, and the new Guthrie Theatre for example), friendly bed and breakfasts, and most importantly the people, Minneapolis bed and breakfast travelers will not be disappointed by this charming city. Yes, its cold in the winter, but rest assured, Minneapolis offers climate-controlled skyway systems enabling residents and visitors to move about and live in Minneapolis without stepping outdoors during the chilly winters. The spring, summer and fall months couldn't be more beautiful, well worth the snow in the winter. The beautiful natural setting in the midst of so many rivers, lakes, ponds, and waterfalls offers an idyllic backdrop for outdoor activities like biking, jogging, and walking during the milder seasons. Whether for business or leisure, choose from historic bed and breakfasts, luxury bed and breakfasts or charming, cozy bed and breakfasts scattered through this intriguing urban center for an unforgettable stay during your Minneapolis bed and breakfast vacation.
