The Nation's most popular twins the Twin Cities! The Community Minneapolis, MN The state capital, St. Paul, and neighboring city Minneapolis make up the Twin Cities, an incredibly rich and diverse area with dramatic skylines, exciting pro sports, award-winning theater, renowned restaurants, and a booming craft beer scene. Revel in the natural beauty of dozens of trails, parks, and waterways, such as the Chain of Lakes and the Mississippi River. You can also shop 'til you drop by local boutiques and the nation's largest mall, the Mall of America, with no tax on clothing or shoes! Or! Attending one of the hundreds of annual events in the region from small-own celebrations to one of the largest state fairs in the country. There's a literal Minneapolis Food Tour you can indulge in that consists of 45 must-visit restaurants, but if you're looking to explore the quieter side of things, you'll absolutely have to visit Minnesota's Dark Sky Parks where you can find some of the darkest skies in the nation for spectacular star-gazing and shooting star wish-making! Take a closer look at what can be experienced in Minneapolis here! Airport Information: Minneapolis Saint-Paul Airport The best airport in Minneapolis to arrive from anywhere in the world is the Minneapolis Saint-Paul Airport (the MSP), which is essentially an impressive mall attached to the large airport. You can get your hair done and buy an entirely new wardrobe just after eating a three-course meal and making a pit-stop at any of the number of bars throughout this location. Approximately 8 minutes away from the VA, this is assuredly your best bet for a travel hub. For more information about the airport, check out their website here!
