The Perfect Walking Guide To Minneapolis MN

Let’s face it – we could all benefit from taking a few more steps each day! If you’re traveling to Minneapolis for the first time or have lived here your entire life, a walking tour of the city’s downtown is an excellent way to get in your 10,000 steps while soaking in the city’s sights and sounds. Here’s a 5-mile walking tour for Minneapolis.

Stop 6: Nicollet Island Pavilion

Meander along the winding Mississippi River on West River Parkway until you reach Hennepin Avenue, then follow that road until you’re on Nicollet Island. One side of the island hosts DeLaSalle High School while the other side is home to Nicollet Island Pavilion, a popular place for glamorous weddings. If there isn’t an event going on, stroll along the island’s brick pathways and witness the beauty of Minneapolis’ downtown skyline.

End here: U.S. Bank Stadium

When you leave the library, head one block southwest to South 5th Street. If your feet are still feeling energetic, explore this area of downtown Minneapolis and visit exceptional eateries and stunning shops. If you’re ready to wrap up your hike, walk along this street until you reach U.S. Bank Stadium, where you started. Don’t forget to pat yourself on the back – that was a lot of walking! Way to get those steps in.
