Travel to Milwaukee
Sitting on Lake Michigan's western shore, Milwaukee is Wisconsin’s most populous city. Intimately tied to its cherished roots, Milwaukee has been nicknamed the “Cream City” due to the yellow clay that was used in many of the city’s original buildings and theaters. Don’t let Milwaukee's big city neighbor of Chicago overshadow this diverse and entertaining area. Nestled at the intersection of the Milwaukee, Menomonee and Kinnikinic Rivers, Milwaukee offers lots to experience “on the water.”
WHY GO TO MILWAUKEE
Milwaukee offers a wonderful mixture of outdoor activities, art, tours, and food. A walk down the Milwaukee Riverwalk will lead visitors along the Milwaukee River, past numerous sculptures and through the Historic Third Ward. Grab food from the Milwaukee Public Market, which is known for local flavor and artisan goods. End the day at a lakefront brewpub or a sunset kayak and enjoy the city’s easy access to water. Milwaukee also boasts two professional sports teams and the world’s largest music festival.
