Visite à pied du Skyway - Minneapolis

Aperçu
A great tour year-round, especially if you're visiting in the winter months! Minneapolis is home to the largest, contiguous skyway system in the world! Originally designed to counter the 1950s post war suburban boom by revitalizing the city's retail core, today the second story walkways connect 80 city blocks and meander more than 9 miles. This is a great way to see the city - inside and out - during cool weather, hot weather, rainy days and the brutally long Minnesota winter, so pretty much year-round! There are so many treasures within downtown's unique architectural landscape, and the skyway system is sometimes the only way to see them. The skyway is such a huge part of our city's identity, the Replacements even wrote a song about it, aptly named Skyway.

Choosing Mpls City & Skyway Tours, you are supporting a local, woman-owned small business with a big heart.

(Please note, this is a walking tour. We will walk up to two miles, with breaks. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water.)

Thank you, Joanne! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour and, hopefully, the rest of your visit to Minneapolis. Maybe you even showed your daughter an interesting thing or two in the skyway after her conference! :)

Jessica gave us a great tour today! It was a small group, so easy to hear and keep up. She has great knowledge of the area and showed us lots of historical photos along the way. I would do another tour with Jessica anytime!
