Saint Paul's West Side, home to the city’s most vibrant Latino community, boasts incredible restaurants and the finest river views in town. The neighborhood’s District del Sol is renowned for its long-established Mexican eateries and lively Cinco de Mayo celebrations, reflecting its rich cultural heritage.

Adding to the area’s appeal, the Covington Inn, a charming bed-and-breakfast housed in a converted riverboat, provides a unique lodging experience with stunning views of the Mississippi River. Nearby, the Minnesota Adventure Company offers a range of outdoor activities, including kayak rentals and guided tours, perfect for those looking to explore the river up close. For history enthusiasts, the Wabasha Street Caves offer intriguing tours of limestone caverns once frequented by Prohibition-era gangsters. Together, these attractions make the West Side a dynamic and engaging destination for both locals and visitors.
