Question
Do I need to rent a car?
Answer
For friends and family flying in from out of town, you can easily navigate the weekend without renting a car. ***There's a METRO Blue Line stop in both airport terminals, and the train will drop you off just a block away from our hotel in downtown Minneapolis at the Warehouse District/Hennepin Ave stop. You can purchase tickets at the train stop just prior to riding. ***If you plan to use Uber/Lyft from the airport, follow signs for "app-based ride services" to find the pick-up area in your terminal. ***Transportation will be provided from our selected hotels to transport guests to and from the wedding on Saturday.
