Let architecture critic Larry Millett be your guide to the downtowns of Minneapolis and St. Paul, whose architectural histories display the uniqueness of these far-from-identical “twin” cities.

AIA Guide to Downtown Minneapolis includes walking tours for Nicollet Mall, the Warehouse District, the central riverfront, and the Elliot Park and Loring Park neighborhoods.
