Tour description
Minneapolis is the larger of Minnesota’s Twin Cities, a lush, culturally rich urban center built on the power of the Mississippi River, which once helped make the city the flour-milling capital of the world. Rich in history, art, and lakes, it is a wonderful city to explore. On this walking tour, a local guide will reveal the city’s heritage.
You will gather beside the ruins of a historic flour mill, cross the famous Stone Arch Bridge, and learn about the flour-milling boom that shaped the city. Along the way, you will discover the riverfront, the arts scene, and the culture of the North. Green and steeped in history, Minneapolis is an ideal city for exploring on foot.
