Saint Paul, Minnesota’s capital city, is a marriage of the old, the new and the unique! Visitors marvel at Saint Paul’s Old World charm. Saint Paul’s Summit Avenue boasts one of the longest stretches of virtually uninterrupted Victorian architecture in the United States--beginning at the European-style Saint Paul Cathedral and running to the Mississippi River. Downtown Saint Paul features a number of historic buildings including the State Capitol, the Fitzgerald Theater (home to Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion), the Landmark Center, the Saint Paul Hotel, and breathtaking views of the Mississippi River. Saint Paul is bursting with new buildings and ideas. Saint Paul’s renaissance is borne out in the Science Museum of Minnesota, the Xcel Energy Center (home of the Minnesota Wild) and the refurbished Harriet Island Regional Park. Invented in 1962 in Minneapolis, Saint Paul’s skyways are enclosed pedestrian walkways that connect virtually all of downtown and keep visitors comfortable no matter what the weather brings. Saint Paul is surrounded by blue! Blue water that is. The city sits on the bluffs overlooking the mighty Mississippi River; and visitors are just minutes away from some of the most scenic urban lakes in the U.S.
