This Midwestern city\u00a0has a lot to offer, especially in the summer months. A trip to Minneapolis is kinda like a two for one deal with the adjoined St. Paul making up the second half of these Twin Cities.

All of its\u00a0best attractions are just a short drive apart, but would be hard to cover on foot. If you want to be in the center of the action, a downtown Minneapolis hotel might be best for you. However, if you like\u00a0to stay in a quieter and trendier area then check-in at one of Uptown&#8217;s hotels near Lake Calhoun.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_43540\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43540\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Orbitz-Minnesota-Long-Weekend-in-Minneapolis-Flickr-2.jpg\" alt=\"The Famous Spoonbridge &amp; Cherry - Photo by Wendy Berry - CC (edited)\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Orbitz-Minnesota-Long-Weekend-in-Minneapolis-Flickr-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Orbitz-Minnesota-Long-Weekend-in-Minneapolis-Flickr-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Orbitz-Minnesota-Long-Weekend-in-Minneapolis-Flickr-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Orbitz-Minnesota-Long-Weekend-in-Minneapolis-Flickr-2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Orbitz-Minnesota-Long-Weekend-in-Minneapolis-Flickr-2-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-43540\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Famous Spoonbridge &amp; Cherry &#8211; Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/twodolla\/2544016560\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wendy Berry<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CC<\/a> (edited)<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Day 1: Downtown<br \/>\n<\/strong>Start your tour of the Twin Cities at\u00a0one it\u2019s most iconic landmarks, the Spoonbridge and Cherry.
