West Side
Home to District Del Sol, Saint Paul's West Side is filled with incredible culture, iconic restaurants, and the best river views in town.
A Riverfront Community
Contrary to popular belief, Saint Paul's West Side actually lies south of downtown—the name comes from its location on the west bank of the Mississippi River. This immediate adjacency to the river makes it an ideal spot to access the water via Harriet Island Regional Park, the Covington Inn or a kayak excursion with Paddle Bridge. Dig into Saint Paul's gangster history on a tour with Wabasha Street Caves or venture to District del Sol to celebrate the area's vibrant Latine roots.
