The more sophisticated, more rural
of the “twin cities,” the other half being Minneapolis,
St. Paul is one of the more refined, classical towns along the
Mississippi River.
Summit Avenue provides visitors with a Victorian flashback. Buildings,
cathedrals, hotels and homes all appear virtually untouched and
add a distinct charm. Contrasting the antiquity is the modern
downtown. This is one of the nation’s cleanest, most walker-friendly
metropolitan areas, thanks in park to Minnesota’s own “skyways.”
Although St. Paul is smaller and less brash than it’s companion
across the river, the two seem to compliment each other rather
nicely. If night falls in St. Paul and you’re eager for
nightlife, take the train straight into downtown Minneapolis.
If you decide that a quaint brunch or a calming stroll sounds
ideal, jump back over to St. Paul Grill or an equally charming
bed and breakfast in the historic district.
Along Minnesota’s stretch of the Mississippi, you would
be hard-pressed to find a more charming combination. |
