Shopping is one of the major attractions for residents and visitors of the Twin Cities.

  • In 1967 the city's principal shopping area, Nicollet Mall,  was converted into one of the country's first pedestrian malls. The traffic-clogged street was replaced with a wide roadway for buses and taxis only. Sidewalks were widened and turned into a shady, flower-filled boulevard.  This 12-block area is home to hundreds of shops, theaters, department stores, restaurants, and offers a wide selection of produce at the farmer's market..
  • The "Warehouse District" houses several galleries, antique shops, and night clubs.  Located near the Target Center, the area is composed of many of Minneapolis's oldest standing buildings that have been converted from industrial to commercial properties.  
  • Located just outside downtown Minneapolis, Calhoun Square and the surrounding area are collectively referred to by locals as "Uptown".  The area offers upscale and urban shopping, dining, entertainment, and cafes.
  • The Mall of America is the nation's largest indoor retail complex.   From the largest indoor theme park in the country, to more than 400 specialty stores, major department stores, Legoland and UnderWater Adventures, there is enough to keep you busy for a week.  It offers plenty to do, see, and eat with a variety of dining options, bars, and a fourteen screen General Cinema theater.
  • Three historic brick malls at the corner of Grand and Victoria Street anchor St. Paul's Grand Avenue, with shops lining the avenue from Dale Street to Fairview Parkway.  
  • Edina is home to The Galleria, an upscale shopping complex with designer stores.
