Getting To Downtown Minneapolis from the Airport

The Minneapolis St. Paul Airport (MSP) serves the Minneapolis and Saint Paul areas.

Lyft/Uber, Rideshare Apps

A popular option and one that will drop off exactly where you need to be. MSP airport has designated areas for Rideshare pick-up points. The app you are using will give you directions on how to find your ride, but we have a few tips if you decide this is your preferred way to get downtown:

Terminal 1 Pick-up Point: In the airport follow signs for baggage claim/ground transportation. Once at baggage claim level follow signs for “app-based ride service" (go down one level and continue to follow signs). This will lead to you to Level 2 of the Green Parking Ramp. You can be picked up at either Zone A or Zone B. *Note: These are right next to each other, just different door entrances.

Terminal 2 Pick-up Point: In the airport follow signs to arrivals level, then look for the app-based ride services signs. Pick-up will be across the street at the Ground Transport Center, on the ground level of the Purple Parking Ramp.

Approximate pricing: $20-$40 depending on the time of day and demand.

Taxi Service

Taking a taxi into Downtown Minneapolis is convenient since the drive is only 12 miles away from the airport. Fares may be a little higher than other options, but are still reasonable averaging around $39-$49.

To grab a taxi in Terminal 1 - follow signs for baggage claim and once there take the escalator down to the Tram Level (Level T). Signs will direct you to the Ground Transport Center one level up to the taxi starter booth, where airport staff will assist you in obtaining a taxi.

At Terminal 2, taxi service is available at the Ground Transport Center, located on the ground level of the Purple Ramp directly across from the terminal building.

Metro Transit Light Rail Train: Blue Line

The METRO Blue Line Light Rail (LRT) is the cheapest solution to get you downtown. The trains run every 12-15 minutes, starting at roughly 4:00am until 11:30pm. To get to downtown Minneapolis, it will probably take you around 25 minutes.

To find the Terminal 1 platform, follow signs to the baggage claim and then go down the escalator for the tram to the METRO Blue Line station. Take the Tram all way to the Red/Blue Ramps, then take the escalators down to the station platform.

Get to the Terminal 2 platform by taking the escalator near Ticketing to the Orange Ramp skyway. From there, follow signs to the LRT station and then go down one level to the platform.

Tickets/Pricing: Purchase tickets at a ticket machine, which can be found on the platform or through the Metro Transit app. A one-way trip downtown will cost you $2.50 during rush hour times and $2.00 at all other times. Tickets are valid for 2.5 hours.

There are 5 downtown METRO stops. You will find plenty of nearby hotels at each station, although you may need to walk a little further to reach them. The Minneapolis Marriott City Center is a 5-minute walk from the Nicollet Mall Station.
