Minneapolis, Minnesota:

Welcome to Minneapolis, a metropolis made up of one of the best blends of urban and natural elements in the United States.  It way be the younger of the Twin Cities (founded 1857), but it is packed full of its own traditions, theaters, festivals, and a modern identity that complement Saint Paul very well.  During your visit, the parks, riverfront, lakes, and waterfalls will jump out at you just as much as the sky scrappers, mansions, stadiums, and shopping.  No wonder that the city’s name, Minneapolis, means the City of Water!
