Money Magazine named Rochester, Minnesota, "Best Small City" in America and said, "One thing to remember about Rochester is that it has the sophistication of a larger metro area, but not the congestion or the complications." The city's attractions include theatres, art galleries, a nature center, paintball, go-karts, music and sporting events. Rochester also has several romantic honeymoon resorts.
