Minneapolis boasts the largest unbroken skyway network in the world! It was first developed to offset the suburban expansion in the 1950s by injecting new life into the city’s retail center. Nowadays, these elevated walkways link 80 blocks across the city and stretch over 9 spectacular miles. They offer a comfortable and unique perspective to explore the city during any season – be it chilly times, heatwaves, rainy periods or even the particularly grueling Minnesota winter – practically all year round! Numerous hidden gems can be discovered within the distinctive architectural panorama of downtown, and often, the skyways provide the only access to these delights. Such an integral part of our urban fabric, the skyways have even inspired a song, fittingly called Skyway, by the Replacements.
