Interestingly, Bob Dylan has relation to Minneapolis. He graduated from the University of Minnesota and played in folk bands as a student performing on local stages several times. Walking along South 5th Street, you can see the Bob Dylan Mural, a graffiti by famous graffitist Eduardo Kobra, who painted impressive pictures of the American musician and singer. The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is another interesting place that is worth walking around. As the name clearly states, the main landmark of the park is its sculptures. The park was created by landscape designers Quinnel and Rothschild and architect Edward Larrabee Barnes.
Those who want to admire real nature rather than man-made sites should take a promenade around the Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway park area consisting of over 80 km of green landscapes. It can be considered the major attraction of the city. The main part of the huge park area was built in the 1930s as part of a natural resource preservation project. The park area includes Minnehaha Park, the Chain of Lakes, Theodore Wirth Park, Minnehaha Falls as well as Mississippi Mile. Minneapolis is also famous for its footbridges (the Minneapolis Skyway System) which connect buildings in 69 central city districts. While it’s simply a necessity for a city with a harshly continental climate, tourists visiting the city consider the bridges to be a real landmark.
