Minnesota is filled with stunning places to visit. And really, it doesn't matter what you think is 'stunning', we've got it in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. You think the water is the most stunning? We've go you. You think cool architecture in a big city is stunning? We've got that too. Stunning and cute small towns? Yep!

Summer is the perfect time to explore these places, too. Great weather, fun events, outdoor dining. Plus, summer is really when places around Minnesota really come alive.

World Atlas put together a list of the prettiest small towns in Minnesota, and I needed to share it with you, because I'm a die-hard Minnesotan and will tell you how much I love Minnesota any chance I get.

The Most Beautiful Small Towns in Minnesota

I love how they described Minnesota in their article:

While the Twin Cities put it on the map with their vibrant cultural landscapes, quirky festivals, and famous landmarks, the North State is riddled with quaint little towns that shape its character.

So true! People know us for the Twin Cities, which is great and everything, I like the Twin Cities too, but you can't overlook the other cities and towns in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

World Atlas writes that our diversity as a state is shown in our small towns with their "traditions, local cuisines, and other unique attractions."

All of these small towns have an adorable downtown area and, of course, a lake or two.

While all of these small towns are beautiful, they're easily not the smallest of the small towns in our state.
