Bus to Minneapolis

Take the bus to Minneapolis and you arrive in the larger of the Twin Cities, set on the Mississippi at Saint Anthony Falls and ringed by lakes that the city actually uses. It's about ten miles west of downtown Saint Paul along I-94, around 400 miles northwest of Chicago on I-94, and roughly 235 miles south of Duluth on I-35. Minneapolis grew on flour milling and lumber, and the river is still the through-line: the Stone Arch Bridge, the Mill District, the Washburn A Mill ruins at the Mill City Museum, the Guthrie Theater hanging over the water on its blue cantilever. Greyhound drops most travellers at the downtown bus station inside Ramp B at 516 2nd Avenue North, a few blocks from Target Field and the Warehouse District. Summer is the city outdoors: the lakes, ballgames at Target Field, evenings on rooftop patios in the North Loop and Northeast. Winter is genuinely cold but the indoor culture is real, with Timberwolves and Lynx games at Target Center, theatre at the Guthrie, and 9.5 miles of Skyway carrying you between the Walker, the Mia and downtown. Music runs through everything, from First Avenue's Purple Rain associations to the brewery taprooms across the river.

Greyhound stops in Minneapolis

Greyhound has 4 stops in Minneapolis, all listed on the live page. The main one is the Minneapolis Bus Station at 516 2nd Avenue North, in the lower level of the Metro Transit Ramp B parking facility on the western edge of downtown. It is a few blocks from Target Field, the Warehouse District and the start of the Skyway System. Plan to arrive early enough to find your loading slip rather than racing the clock at the curb.

The second stop sits on the University of Minnesota's East Bank campus at the student union, 2428 Delaware Street SE, useful if you live near the U or are headed to a Gophers game at Huntington Bank Stadium. The third is at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport at 4300 Glumack Drive, in the airport transit area about ten miles southeast of downtown along the Blue Line and handy for travellers connecting from a flight. The fourth is the Minneapolis VA Health Care stop at 1 Veterans Drive in south Minneapolis, around six miles south of downtown. These three are flag stops, so plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before departure with your ticket ready on your phone or printed.

Getting around Minneapolis after your bus to Minneapolis arrives

From the downtown station the city opens up quickly. The Skyway System starts a block east and links roughly 80 downtown blocks indoors, so getting to a hotel near Nicollet Mall, to Target Center or across to U.S. Bank Stadium can stay climate-controlled in winter. The Metro light-rail is the other workhorse: the Blue Line connects downtown to MSP Airport (around 25 minutes) and the Mall of America in Bloomington (about 35 minutes, roughly twelve miles southeast of downtown), and the Green Line runs from Target Field through downtown, across the river to the University of Minnesota and on to Saint Paul Union Depot, with the full ride to Saint Paul taking around 50 minutes end-to-end. Both lines have stations a short walk from the bus station. From the airport stop the Blue Line is the simplest way into the city; from the U of M flag stop the Green Line picks up at Stadium Village or East Bank.

More broadly, Metro Transit runs two light-rail lines plus eight bus rapid transit corridors, including the D Line on Chicago and Fremont, the C Line on Penn Avenue, the A Line through Saint Paul, and the Orange Line down I-35W. Local buses cover the rest of the city, and Uber, Lyft and taxis are widely available. The off-street trail network around the Chain of Lakes and along the Mississippi makes cycling a real option in good weather. The Green Line Extension out to the south-western suburbs is under construction, with completion expected around 2027.

Top things to do in Minneapolis

  • U.S. Bank Stadium. Home of the Minnesota Vikings since the building opened in July 2016, on the Downtown East site of the former Metrodome. The translucent roof and angular glass front make it one of the more distinctive NFL stadiums; it also hosts the X Games, college Final Fours and major concerts.
  • Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Run by the Walker Art Center together with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, the 11-acre garden in Lowry Hill (around a mile southwest of downtown) is anchored by Spoonbridge and Cherry, the 1988 Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen fountain that has become the city's unofficial postcard. Free to enter and good in any season.
  • Stone Arch Bridge. The 1883 limestone railroad bridge across the Mississippi at Saint Anthony Falls now carries pedestrians and cyclists. It closed in December 2024 for stone and mortar repair and reopened in July 2025. The view back to the downtown skyline is the one most visitors take home.
  • Mill District and Mill City Museum. Riverfront blocks where the Washburn A Mill once made Minneapolis the flour-milling capital of the world. The museum opened in 2003 inside the burned-out mill ruins, with a Flour Tower ride that ends on the rooftop.
  • Guthrie Theater. Jean Nouvel's deep-blue building opened in 2006 in the Mill District and holds three stages plus the cantilevered Endless Bridge, a 178-foot interior walkway pointing out over the river.
  • Walker Art Center. The contemporary art museum next door to the Sculpture Garden in Lowry Hill, with a strong post-war collection and a rolling programme of new commissions.
  • Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia). Free encyclopaedic museum at 2400 Third Avenue South, around two miles south of downtown, holding more than 100,000 works across five thousand years of world art. The McKim, Mead & White building opened in 1915.
  • Target Field. The Minnesota Twins' downtown ballpark opened in April 2010 at the edge of the warehouse district. Open-air baseball with the Blue and Green Line stations right outside the gates and the Greyhound terminal a few blocks away.
  • Target Center. The downtown arena has been Minneapolis's basketball home since 1990, hosting the NBA Timberwolves and WNBA Lynx; the surrounding First Avenue North blocks come alive on game nights.
  • First Avenue. The black-walled music club at 7th Street and First Avenue, open since 1970 and the filming location for most of the 1984 Purple Rain concert sequences. The exterior stars on the wall, including Prince's gold one, track decades of Minneapolis Sound history.
  • Minneapolis Skyway System. 9.5 miles of indoor walkways across roughly 80 downtown blocks, dating from 1962 and now the largest connected system of its kind. Free, climate-controlled and underrated in winter.
  • Chain of Lakes. Bde Maka Ska, Lake Harriet and Lake of the Isles run roughly two to four miles southwest of downtown, joined by paths, beaches and the Lake Harriet Bandshell, which runs free summer concerts.

Neighbourhoods to explore in Minneapolis

The North Loop and Warehouse District sit at the western edge of downtown, with brick warehouses now holding restaurants, breweries and lofts; Target Field and the Greyhound terminal anchor its inner edge, which makes it the most likely first stop for arriving passengers. The Mill District runs along the river south-east of downtown, built around the Washburn A Mill ruins, the Guthrie, Mill City Museum and Gold Medal Park, with the Stone Arch Bridge as its pedestrian artery. Northeast Minneapolis, across the river from downtown, is the city's brewery and arts district, with the Northeast Arts District, deep Polish, Lebanese and Eastern European roots still visible on Central Avenue, and Surly, Indeed, Bauhaus and Fair State all within an evening's reach. Uptown and Lyn-Lake, south of downtown around Hennepin and Lake Street, sit a few blocks from the Chain of Lakes and a short ride from the Walker. Dinkytown and Stadium Village are the U of M's commercial strips on the East Bank, a block from the campus Greyhound flag stop.

Food and drink in Minneapolis

Minneapolis food sits between Upper Midwest classics and the immigrant kitchens that have reshaped the city. The local burger is the Juicy Lucy, a patty stuffed with American cheese that gets molten in the middle, claimed by a small set of South Minneapolis bars. Walleye is the regional fish, fried or pan-seared on most older menus; tater tot hotdish is the supper-club casserole that still turns up at family-style spots. On top of that, the Twin Cities have one of the country's deepest Hmong, Somali, Mexican and East African food scenes, with papaya salad and laab, sambusa and suqaar, al pastor and birria all cooked by communities that have been here for generations. Eat Street, on Nicollet Avenue South between Franklin and Lake, is the easiest single introduction to that mix; the Midtown Global Market in Phillips packs dozens of small kitchens under one roof. Northeast Minneapolis is the brewery centre, and the North Loop carries the bigger-name restaurants.

Best time to visit Minneapolis

Minneapolis runs on four real seasons. May through September is when the city is fully outdoors: the Chain of Lakes is in use from late spring, the Twins play home games at Target Field through the summer, the Lake Harriet Bandshell runs free concerts most evenings, and the Aquatennial fills downtown in late July with parades, fireworks and the milk-carton boat race. The Minnesota State Fair takes over Falcon Heights for twelve days from late August into Labor Day. September and early October bring shoulder-season weather and lake-and-river colour, which the Mississippi gorge does as well as anywhere in the Midwest. Winter is genuinely cold and snowy, with January averages well below freezing, but the indoor city carries you through: the Walker, the Mia, the Guthrie, Timberwolves and Lynx games, the Skyway System and the Northeast taprooms all stay open. Spring is brief, but the first warm days on the lakes are some of the best of the year.

Minneapolis is a music city as much as a lakes city. Prince came out of these streets, First Avenue's stars are still being painted, and on a summer night a free Bandshell concert can drift across Lake Harriet while a Northeast taproom is running its own show across town. Use the search bar on this page to check schedules and book bus tickets to Minneapolis with Greyhound. A weekend of Twins or Vikings, a walk across the Stone Arch, an afternoon at the Mia or the Walker, and a late evening at First Avenue — that is the rough shape of a Minneapolis trip people end up booking a second time.
