WorldAtlas writes about Minnesota, known as the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” with its rich variety of waterways, including the headwaters of the Mississippi River and a portion of Lake Superior in Duluth. While the state boasts bustling cities and major attractions like the Mall of America, its charm also lies in its small, picturesque towns that make ideal getaways.
One such town WorldAtlas highlights is Winona, as a vibrant college town that offers a mix of cultural and natural attractions. Winona features stunning views of the Mississippi River and Lake Winona, and hosts a variety of events and activities throughout the year. Among its notable offerings are world-class live entertainment, dining, and the annual Great River Shakespeare Festival in July. Additionally, Winona has a growing arts and cultural scene, highlighted by venues like the Minnesota Marine Art Museum. In summary, Minnesota’s beauty extends beyond its famous lakes, with towns like Winona providing a blend of cultural richness and natural splendor, making them perfect destinations for a short stay.
