In 1967, faded Nicollet Avenue, the city's principal shopping area, was converted into Nicollet Mall, one of the country's first pedestrian malls. The traffic-clogged street was replaced with a rolling, 30-foot wide roadway for buses and taxis only. Sidewalks were widened and turned into a shady, flower-filled boulevard. A clock presides over Peavey Plaza at 11th Street. This 12-block area is home to hundreds of shops, theaters, department stores, and restaurants.

Reviews
tripadvisorI thought this area was pretty nice. Lots of places to eat and walk. It seemed pretty safe.
MoreOf course just our thought, but wish we had went to riverfront first to explore the sites there. Ran out of time by walking Nicollet area, there did not seem to be much of interest in this area. The skywalk system is impressive but beyond that, not much to explore. We didn't make it to the location of the Spoon, so maybe it would added to the adventure.
MoreWe were hoping to complement our Mall of America experience with some extra shopping, but all we saw were restaurants and bars.
MoreNot a lot of places open, very quiet. I went to do some shopping having been to the mall of America yesterday. This was disappointing. In the end I just did some shopping in target down the road and brought my lunch from target with me to eat in the mall.
MoreWhat a waste of time. Uber dropped us off at the “mall” which is a transit subway hub. Downtown is dirty not sure how it is considered a pedestrian mall with few restraints and homeless all over the streets. Go somewhere else not this.
