Along the way you will also learn a lot of history about St. Paul while enjoy looking at beautiful sights such as Rice Park, Summit Ave Historic preservation district (the longest stretch of preserved Victorian homes in the country), the State Capital, views of the Mississippi River, the iconic St. Paul Cathedral and more.
