Downtown Minneapolis features 52 blocks – that's 5 miles – of skyway. Glass-enclosed walkways above the streets offer a distinctive look at the city and a 72-degree climate year-round. Inside, you'll find everything from specialty shops, convenience stores, fast food restaurants and boutiques, to services such as dry cleaners, florists, photo developers and financial services.
