St. Paul, MN

Perched on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River, Minnesota's capital city mixes Old World charm with sleek skyscrapers. Summit Avenue boasts a long stretch of restored Victorian architecture, including the classic St. Paul Cathedral and the Fitzgerald Theater, home to Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion." Shoulder a musket or sing along with the soldiers at historic Fort Snelling, a reconstructed 1827 U.S. Army fort that features a living history museum. Or tour the Wabasha Street Caves, mined 150 years ago for their silica and later transformed into an underground nightclub. Other places to explore include the Science Museum of Minnesota, the Minnesota Museum of American Art and a children's museum.
