Minneapolis is undeniably gorgeous at street level. There’s nothing like gazing up at the skyscrapers, staring at the beauty that is the Spoonbridge and Cherry, and soaking up the sun from one of the city’s many beaches. Sometimes, photographers are able to take to the sky to capture some of the most beautiful shots of Minneapolis from a bird’s-eye-view and the results are incredible. Here are 11 aerial view photos of Minneapolis that will leave you mesmerized:
1. A drone is capable of capturing all of downtown, from Loring Park to the IDS Center.
It's the most iconic sculpture in the entire city! This photo was taken before the Sculpture Garden's big remodel, but it's nice to see the working fountain in so much focus.
There's something special about seeing the roads that keep Minneapolis running smoothly from an aerial view. Plus, we can't see the potholes from up here!
7. The Basilica of St. Mary is magnificent at any angle.
North Minneapolis doesn't get enough love and attention from the rest of the city. It's just as gorgeous and important as anywhere else!
