Situated along the bank of the Mississippi River in Minnesota, Minneapolis is one of the biggest and most exciting cities to visit in the Midwest. It is home to the Chain of Lakes, where you can swim, fish, boat and even bike or walk along the lakeside trails. It’s no wonder Minneapolis is among the top 10 cities in the U.S. for outdoor activities!
Although it's known as the City of Lakes, Minneapolis has a lot more to offer than gorgeous lakes, wetlands, and waterfalls. Shopaholics can spend days getting lost in the Mall of America, which boasts over 500 stores and an indoor theme park. If you're visiting Minneapolis on a romantic vacation, Minneapolis' bustling theater district offers excellent date nights from dozens of theater companies. Or, for a less musical and more brews-ical date option, head to one of 62 top-rated breweries in the #2 best city in America for craft beer.
Minneapolis can be visited in any season, but keep in mind that it becomes a frigid, snowy destination in the winter. January hovers around 0° Fahrenheit, but it's worth bundling up to enjoy the St. Paul Winter Carnival, or hockey and ice skating on any of the 13 lakes in the city. Have we mentioned how great the lakes are?
If you're visiting both of the Twin Cities, you can take public transport from downtown Minneapolis to Saint Paul in about 30 minutes. Public transit also connects downtown to the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. Thanks to bus stations throughout Minneapolis, traveling by bus is the easiest way to arrive directly in the middle of the action and begin your adventure.

The largest city in Montana, Billings, offers plenty of beautiful sights to see. One of the most popular attractions is the Yellowstone Art Museum, a large and impressive contemporary art museum focusing on local artists.

Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area offers the perfect respite if you prefer to simply take a stroll and unwind.
Like most big cities, Billings features a vibrant food scene with plenty of unique offerings. If you are looking for a cozy atmosphere, Bin 119, an intimate pub, is a great choice. But, to try something special, why not go to NaRA and try out their famous sushi dishes?
The principal airport in the city is the Billings Logan International Airport, located very close to downtown, and bus service from Jefferson Lines stops at the central bus station at 1830 4th Ave N.
