From the Minneapolis World / Travel essentials

Getting around Minneapolis

Use the street grid and the river to orient yourself, then choose transit or a focused walk. Address prefixes matter, and the West Bank is distinct from downtown.

Why go

Hennepin Avenue and Nicollet Avenue help decode central addresses, while the Mississippi separates downtown from Northeast and Southeast Minneapolis. The Blue and Green light-rail lines serve different corridors, so check the current route map before choosing a train. For a walk, keep nearby sights together: the Mill District and Stone Arch Bridge make one riverfront outing.

Useful to know

  • Check the N, S, NE or SE prefix on an address before setting out; similar street names occur in different parts of the grid.
  • Check Metro Transit's current route map and timetable for Blue and Green Line trips and bus connections.
  • Treat Seven Corners and Cedar-Riverside as separate parts of the West Bank when planning a stop there.
