Such a beautiful building, marble pillars and staircases, breathtaking dome, somber official chambers, rich colours, warm woodwork, gilded details.......all brought to life by the informative guides with their unique stories to share. The guide we had on our tour pointed out so many details that we would surely have missed if left to our own devices. As visitors from Scotland we felt very welcomed here.

I grew up in Minneapolis and I was always fascinated with a building that looked like the Washington Monument. It was constructed in 1906 and it was the tallest building between Chicago and the West Coast until the early 1970’s and was converted into a Hotel in 2008. This fall my wife a visited family and we were pleased to stay in this historic building. The hotel is very interesting, step into the elevators and jump back in time, the rooms have a wonderful view of the downtown (ask for an upper floor room) and the décor in the rooms are fun. Minneapolis is a great walking town, with walkways that connect most of the downtown, we were able to walked to the Twins baseball field which is about a mile way. Easy access to restaurants and shopping. You can also visit the Foshay museum and observation deck located on the 30th floor

Downtown St. Paul is filled with old buildings. While this one may not stand out from the outside, it hides some beautiful Art Deco inside and is well worth a detour. Visiting is free, although you must go through security. Once inside, you are immersed in 1930s beauty. Make your way to the 3-story Memorial Hall and be prepared to ooh and aah at the marble walls and gold mirror ceilings, as well as the Art Deco elevators and other elements in the room. However, the main draw is the Vision of Peace statue. Rising 36 feet, it is the largest carved onyx statue in the world and is spectacular. Unveiled in 1936, it slowly revolves to reveal a tribute to Native Americans. Lovely and awe-inspiring. There are other historical treasures and memorials in the building as well. I understand that you can take a self guided tour of this amazing space as well.

Nation's First Basilica
Reviewed By Happy10958 - New Hampton, United States
The Basilica, which is attractive but not awe-inspiring from the outside, is beautifully crafted inside. It is tastefully ornate rather than being garish. After Sunday Mass, docents lead visitors on an informative, guided tour, providing fascinating history about the architecture,the artwork, the relics. After Mass and the tour, take a few moments to sit and contemplate .... you will be uplifted.
