Despite the Twin moniker, Minneapolis and Saint Paul are not identical - so consider this when you make your Minneapolis - Saint Paul travel guide. If you enjoy contemporary and avantgarde, Minneapolis is your ticket to a great vacation. If you like the laid-back, and more serene type of holiday, choose Saint Paul, with its late-Victorian architecture, calm pace and friendly neighborhoods. There’s a lot to do here: Minneapolis - Saint Paul may not be Paris, but it can be as romantic and exciting, and when it comes to culture and arts, the experience is as rich.
