Find parking nearDowntown East

Downtown East sits on the eastern side of downtown Minneapolis along the Mississippi River, anchored by U.S. Bank Stadium, the historic Mill District, the Guthrie Theater, Gold Medal Park, and The Commons. The neighborhood has an energetic, modern feel with busy office towers and condos mixed with restored warehouses, riverfront paths, and green spaces, which means streets can be lively throughout the day and into the evening.

Traffic is typically heaviest near U.S. Bank Stadium, especially around Chicago Avenue, 4th Street, and 6th Street, where one-way streets and frequent visitors can slow things down and make curbside spaces scarce. Drivers will find a mix of large parking ramps connected to the skyway system, smaller surface lots closer to the river and Mill District, and metered street parking where regulations, hours, and rates can change by block, so it is important to read signs carefully and check the latest rules from official city sources. Because parking in Downtown East can fill quickly near major attractions, booking parking in advance helps you lock in a spot, avoid circling crowded blocks, and enjoy a smoother, less stressful visit.
