City Information
Duluth
Located on the north shore of Lake Superior, Duluth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Midwest region. When you arrive, dive into the Great Lakes Aquarium, the only all freshwater aquarium in the United States. The aquarium currently houses 205 different species of animals, from otters to piranhas. Next, stroll around Canal Park and see if you can spot the adjacent Aerial Lift Bridge rise to allow ships to pass below. The long thin peninsula beyond the bridge is home to the idyllic Minnesota Point, a popular tourist-oriented neighborhood.
Fitting for a tourist city, Duluth also boasts a vibrant food scene that offers a wide range of selections. On a hot summer day, there is nothing better than munching down ice cream from Camp Creemee while enjoying the view of Lake Superior. And if you are in the mood for some barbecues, OMC Smokehouse offers terrific ribs!
Duluth's Transportation Center is a hub for intercity bus travel on Jefferson Lines and Indian Trails. If you're flying in or out of the city, Duluth International Airport is located just 5.9 miles from the city center.
Minneapolis
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.
