Minnesota is a Midwestern state in the United States of America. It faces Ontario, Canada, and it’s cut through by the mighty Mississippi River. One of the most popular cities to visit here is Minneapolis, which I would love to visit if I were travelling through the US. The city is rich in natural attractions, and that includes lakes, wetlands and waterfalls. Touring the famous Salt Cave Minneapolis is one of the best things to do in the city. The majority of its tourism, however, converges on Minneapolis’ artistic scene centred around the famous Guthrie Theatre and the 50-year-old First Avenue nightclub. The latter hosted no less than singer Prince, who used the main dance hall to film the movie “Purple Rain.” Combine a vibrant music scene with bountiful culinary offerings, and Minneapolis surely deserves to be on your radar. And while you’re here, why not treat yourself to a chic accommodation? Check out our list of the best luxury Airbnbs in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The chic side of Minneapolis
Luxury Airbnbs have sprung up in recent years all around the Midwestern city of Minneapolis. The city is undeniably a fun and cool destination that offers both hip, vibrant neighbourhoods and the relaxing, peaceful sight of natural landscapes within a short 2-mi (3.2 km) radius. If you’re planning to visit the “Mini-Apple,” I suggest treating yourself and your family to a chic accommodation. Be sure to check out some cheap motels and hotels with a spa in Minneapolis as well.
