My mission today is to showcase to you some of the best of the best iconic views of Minneapolis to help you get as excited about this great city as I am or to help you stay connected to your cherished city of your past.
Mississippi River
If you know your American history you will know how important rivers are the life of a growing city. The rivers were the highways before there were highways. The Mississippi River is no different, well actually it may be different in that it is more important that most rivers because of its size and location. Minneapolis became a wealthy city because of the commerce that flowed through it on the mighty Mississippi. Ad of course as a city grows up around a river you will eventually need to have bridges over the river. In Minneapolis, the Stone Arch Bridge and the Hennepin Avenue Bridge are two such bridges with great history and interesting design.
Downtown Minneapolis
In downtown Minneapolis you will find vital life and great views all over the place. When the Minnesota Twins moved into their new home at Target field, the whole city was reinvigorated. If you are downtown on a Twins game day the place feels like Disneyland on steroids.
Nicollet Mall
The Nicollet Mall is a hub of business, shopping and nightlife and you can find great views both summer and winter.
Historic Foshay Tower
The Foshay Tower is a great old building with wonderful history. It is magical to mix new modern architecture with a view of our past.
The Minneapolis Public Library
The Minneapolis Public Library is an architectural marvel. You can see a reflection of the Minneapolis Skyline in the modern glass structure filled with both the old and the new of architectural designs.
In the building itself you see a spaceship view into the future. All decorated for the holiday season it becomes a magical sight.
Minneapolis Art Museums as Art
Minneapolis has been influenced by some of the most prolific creative architects of our time.
Minneapolis the City of Lakes
You probably know that Minneapolis is called the “City of Lakes”. Minneapolis has twenty or more lakes within its city limits. Of course you would expect the lakes to influence the Minneapolis Skyline.
