Take in live music at the iconic First Avenue<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Prince is no longer around to grace its stage as he did so often in the 80\u2019s, many people still recognize First Avenue from the movie <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Purple Rain<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The intimate downtown venue hosts acts big and small, so you can catch a national act when it comes to town and discover new music through<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> its support of diverse local artists<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Sightsee in style on the Minneapolis History Tour<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explore miles of the Mississippi riverfront without getting tired by sightseeing on a Segway tour. You\u2019ll get to hear about the city\u2019s storied past from a knowledgeable guide so that when you\u2019re ready to explore on your own, you\u2019ll already feel like an expert.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Cruise the Mighty Mississippi<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve gotten the lay of the land, it\u2019s time to get your sea legs on a paddleboat ride down the river. Learn about the sights on a narrated tour during the day, or take a sunset dinner cruise and just enjoy the scenery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Explore the Mill District<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Named after the now-defunct Washburn A Mill, the district pays tribute to the Great Mill Disaster of 1878 that killed 18 people. The mill was rebuilt and later became Gold Medal Flour, but that mill was abandoned after another fire partially destroyed it in 1991. The iconic neon signs still stand atop an intact building, however, and the site was eventually turned into the Mill City Museum, where visitors can tour the ruins and learn how the Mighty Mississippi powered the mill in its heyday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mill District also features Mill Ruins Park and the Mill City Farmers Market, which both offer exciting things to do in downtown Minneapolis. Get the most out of your visit by browsing local produce, getting a snack, and taking a stroll along the river.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Minneapolis-Mississippi-River-GI.jpg\" alt=\"Minneapolis Mississippi River\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Minneapolis-Mississippi-River-GI.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Minneapolis-Mississippi-River-GI-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Minneapolis-Mississippi-River-GI-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Minneapolis-Mississippi-River-GI-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Minneapolis-Mississippi-River-GI-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Minneapolis-Mississippi-River-GI-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Minneapolis-Mississippi-River-GI-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Spend the afternoon at Brit\u2019s Pub<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brit\u2019s has been \u201cserving scholars and scoundrels\u201d for over 30 years. In the colder months, you can down a pint and watch the game at the classic mahogany bar, grab a table with friends and enjoy some bangers and mash, or snag a leather chair in the Long Room and take your time with a glass of scotch. When things start to heat up, you\u2019ll want to head outside to the amazing rooftop garden deck and bowling green. Whether you choose to play or just watch, you\u2019re sure to have a jolly good time.\u00a0 <\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Try cross-country skiing at Theodore Wirth Park<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s one of many winter sports that help Minnesotans stay fit all year round. The park offers rentals and even lessons, plus 14 miles of groomed and lighted trails for skiers of all experience levels. If you need a break from the cold, there\u2019s even a restaurant that serves food, coffee, beer, and wine all day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Travel the world at Midtown Global Market<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another one of the best things to do in downtown Minneapolis is visit the Midtown Global Market. This huge building in midtown houses a diverse array of restaurants and shops where you can find everything from arepas to zaalouk. There\u2019s live music on the weekends plus unique events like global cooking competitions and festivals to celebrate holidays from all over the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Enjoy a show at the Guthrie Theater<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founded in 1963 as an alternative to the Broadway style of theater, the Guthrie has since won a Tony award for Best Regional Theater and become a cornerstone of the Twin Cities theater scene. Each of its three unique stages offers a different theatrical experience, enabling \u201cthe exploration of both classic and contemporary plays,\u201d including the annual Shakespeare production. Build in some time before or after your show to explore the amazing building itself, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel; the many windows and Endless Bridge offer spectacular views of the river and downtown Minneapolis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9. Dine at Chef Sean Sherman\u2019s restaurant, Owamni<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chef Sean Sherman (who is actually Lakota) began offering his modern Indigenous menu in 2021 using only ingredients native to Minnesota, meaning none that were brought to North America by Europeans. Owamni has since won the 2022 James Beard award for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2022\/09\/19\/how-owamni-became-the-best-new-restaurant-in-the-united-states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best New Restaurant<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (yes, in the whole country).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sherman\u2019s \u201cironically foreign\u201d dishes\u2013like bison tartare, traditional corn sandwiches called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">choginyapi, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and sorbet made from hand-harvested wild rice\u2013are all made without wheat flour, cane sugar, dairy, or the meats that now dominate Americans\u2019 diets, like beef and pork. The only exception is the small drink menu, so you can enjoy the views of the Stone Arch Bridge over the Mississippi with a glass of wine while you wait for your culinary adventure to begin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter where you end up someday, if you check off this list and experience all of the things to do in downtown Minneapolis, you\u2019ll be able to look back and say you were a true Minneapolitan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about Minneapolis:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/what-is-minneapolis-known-for\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Minneapolis Known For? 10 Things That Will Make You Fall in Love with the Mini-Apple<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/is-minneapolis-a-good-place-to-live\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is Minneapolis a Good Place to Live? 10 Pros and Cons of Calling the Twin Cities Home<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/10-reasons-to-move-to-minneapolis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10 Unique Reasons You Should Move to Minneapolis (And Why You\u2019ll Love It)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minneapolis is a vibrant hub of cultural, recreational, and outdoor activities.
