Two Cities. Endless Opportunities. 

Minneapolis-St. Paul is a major metropolitan area surrounded by the beautiful wilderness we lovingly refer to as “up north.”

We’re the home of Fortune 500 companies like Target, Best Buy, 3M, Cargill, and United Healthcare, but we also consistently rank as two of the happiest and healthiest cities in the U.S. thanks to our thriving bicycle culture, sprawling parks, and storied lakes. It’s no secret that we get the full winter experience here, but that doesn’t mean we go into hibernation.

We embrace the season with open arms—whether it’s on the ski slopes, lacing up our skates, or heading to one of the countless winter festivals to sip cocoa and savor some award-winning cuisine.
