Skyway Access sign directs pedestrians into the enclosed walkway system at the Thrivent Financial building in downtown.

The Minneapolis Skyway System connects more than 80 city blocks of downtown buildings via enclosed, elevated walkways, forming one of the largest networks of its kind in the world. Skyway entrances like this one direct pedestrians to the second-level walkway system, letting people move between buildings without going outside. The system dates to 1962.
