In late October, Paisley Park got the Graceland treatment, opening as a museum and pilgrimage site for the Prince faithful. The $100 VIP tour of the artist’s former musical funhouse takes visitors through recording and mixing studios, event spaces such as the concert hall and the NPG Music Club, and more intimate spots like the “little kitchen,” where Prince chilled and watched the T-Wolves, and his private office.

Of course there are plenty of other Princely landmarks to see around the Twin Cities, too. Here are five routes through the Kid’s hometown.
