Value Bound
Affordability is key in Minneapolis. From getting here on the cheap to a city that’s made for your own two feet, transportation won’t empty your pockets. Better yet, copious (affordable) dining spots, world-class attractions and meeting venues let you deliver events that seriously impress, meaning a trip with serious value and without the serious sacrifices.
Hotel Variety
Pamper up at a luxury hotel with a spa. Enjoy amenities, work out in a posh gym or rush the pool. Check in and rest your feet. From chic to cozy, the variety of hotels in Minneapolis offers the perfect place for anyone to rest.

Southwest Airlines
Southwest Airlines began servicing Minneapolis in March 2009, ensuring affordable flights for all. Plus, with Southwest’s arrival comes the Southwest affect: competing airlines are lowering their rates by leaps and bounds.

Light Rail Transit
Not only convenient, but clean and inexpensive, light rail transit connects the MSP Airport to Downtown Minneapolis to the Mall of America. Hop on to get to your hotel, shop or catch a Minnesota Twins game.

Walkable Downtown
Downtown Minneapolis is compact, meaning you’ll be able to walk almost anywhere without getting blisters on your feet. Meet at the Convention Center, eat on Nicollet Mall, meander around the Mississippi Riverbank and take in a show at the Guthrie—all is within walking distance.

Dining Options
Here, gourmet dinners don’t necessarily come with a gourmet price. Plus, with substantial ethnic populations in the city, there are tons of delicious, delectable meals to be found that will make your stomach and pocketbook smile.

Free Attractions
Visit the Minneapolis Institute of Arts or The Weisman Museum where admission is always free. Meander through the wonderous Guthrie Theater. If you’re looking for a (gratis) animal frenzy, stop at Como Park Zoo & Conservatory. On Thursday nights, The Walker Art Center opens its doors to the public. Its neighboring Minneapolis Sculpture Garden never charges for browsing.
