SKYWAY & SUBWAY SYSTEMS

Nowhere else in the world can you find a city’s downtown designed as expertly for pedestrians as Rochester, MN. So expertly, in fact, that thanks to its system of skyways and underground walkways, you rarely have to step foot outside. A safe haven from weather extremes and traffic hazards, the skyway/subway system features corridors lined with restaurants and shops that run above and below street level.
