The city of Rochester, MN revolves around the Mayo Clinic, resulting in an abundance of options for lodging, food, and activities for patients and their travel companions. While the spring, summer, and fall at the Mayo Clinic provide for some milder temperatures, visitors at all times of year, but particularly during the harsh Minnesota winter, should come prepared to bundle up. There is a system of tunnels on the Downtown Campus of the Mayo Clinic, called the Skyway/Subway, that connects several of the Clinic’s main buildings to a food court, shops, and a number of hotels. If you stay in one of those hotels, you can get to your COE appointment without venturing outside. To learn the basics for Mayo Clinic patients and visitors, click here.
