The Skyway

Downtown Minneapolis has roughly nine and a half miles of climate-controlled second-story walkways linking sixty-plus buildings. In January it is a superpower. The official map updates constantly because the schedule of every segment is set by the building that owns it. What follows is the central spine, the buildings most worth knowing, and a small router to get from one to another without going outside.

General hours · Weekdays 6 AM to 10 PM. Saturdays 11 AM to 6 PM. Most segments closed Sundays.

Tips that will save you time

Phone signal in the skyway can be spotty. Pre-load anything you need.
On Sundays most segments are closed. Plan your indoor walk for a weekday or Saturday afternoon.
The IDS Crystal Court is the easiest landmark to give as a meeting point. Everyone downtown knows it.
During a Vikings game the U.S. Bank Stadium end is jammed. Enter from the west.
The skyway is private property. Quiet hours, no soliciting, security can ask you to leave.
