About the Twin Cities

Live, learn, work and play

student reading steps near the Minnesota State CapitolThe neighborhood that surrounds Luther Seminary is called St. Anthony Park, a residential community situated within the heart of the Twin Cities. St. Anthony Park is home to neighborhood shops that include Winding Trail Books, Finnish Bistro, boreal and more.

Attending Luther Seminary, however, does not limit you to a small-town atmosphere. The great thing about Luther Seminary is that you are minutes away from downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul. The Twin Cities are wonderful communities in which to live, work, learn and play. There are also plenty of options for shopping, hotels and restaurants in nearby Roseville.

Whether you looking for a small-town neighborhood feel, or craving a big city experience, Luther Seminary gives you access to both.
