Rochester Airport from downtown Minneapolis?

My first time in Minneapolis, I don't want to rent a car as I will be staying in a hotel downtown..

Anyone knows how far is Rochester Airport from downtown Minneapolis?

Is there a train or bus service or taxi?

is that the main St. Paul/MPLS airport? if so, there is a light rail that goes downtown. if you're arriving at a different airport, there should still be some shuttle service that will take you to downtown minneapolis - have you checked the airport's web site?

If the hotel dont provide shuttle service from the Airport, you can book online a Super Shuttle (www.supershuttle.com) or similar service from the airport curb. It's usually $15 shared ride to your destination. Check if they service that airport though before you book a reservation.

Well Rochester MN is about 90 miles from Minneapolis!

Are you flying in there for some reason? As previously mentioned the Mpls/St. Paul airport you could take the light rail all the way downtown or a cab etc.

OK my google map is not working. Type directions from Rochester MN to Minneapolis and you'll see.

Rochester is a good couple of hour drive away... I really don't recommend flying into/out of there.

At one point there was a 25$ bus that ran from the Raddisson Hotel in Rochester to the Mpls airport...don't know if it still exists, but worth a try if you don't want to rent a car.

I went to high school in Rochester. I don't know what kind of sight-seeing you'd really want to do there...
