Summer 2017 is officially here! Whether you're in middle school or a college graduate, you're always going to be looking for the picture-perfect place for seflies and Instagram-worthy pictures. With that, here are the seven best spots around the cities for any type of picture.
1. Minneapolis Wall Crawl
Pictured above, the "I Like You" wall, is one of the many, many murals across Minneapolis. Take an afternoon to go around the city and find as many murals as you can, and be sure to take the most beautiful pictures!
2. Guthrie Theater
Whether you're a theater nerd or not, the Guthrie Theater has something everyone will enjoy: the view. Take a step into the gorgeously yellow box on the outside of the theater to enjoy beautiful views of Minneapolis, while taking spectacular selfies.
3. Stone Arch Bridge
Stone Arch is one of the most breathtaking places around the cities to take a photo. Walk across the bridge to see Saint Anthony Falls, Mill Ruins Park, and Gold Medal Park--all great places for pictures! Stop by Izzy's Ice Cream for the most beautiful, Instagram-worthy shot of ice cream.
4. Witches Hat Water Tower
Now, here's where to get the best view of Minneapolis. Witches Hat Water Tower is an eerie, yet gorgeous place to see the whole city. Only a twenty-minute walk from the University of Minnesota, this is the perfect spot for students to take stunning pictures.
5. Black: Coffee and Waffle Bar
Instead of looking for the perfect selfie, though the Black Coffee and Waffle Bar mural is perfect for a picture with friends, the waffles and latte art are seriously picture-perfect (and they are mighty tasty!)
6. Como Park Zoo and Conservatory
One of the most aesthetically-pleasing parts of Como Zoo is the conservatory, which is home to thousands of colorfully stunning flowers and plants. Again, maybe the conservatory is not an ideal place for selfies, but it is beautiful for close-up flower photos.
7. Mickey's Diner
So, you're in the mood for some lunch and possibly looking to take some retro pictures? Well, you're in luck. Stop by Mickey's in St. Paul to get a delicious burger and shake while taking the cutest retro pics. Also, Mickey's is open 24 hours! That means, say, if you're really bored during ungodly hours of the night, it's time for a photoshoot.
