Why visit Milwaukee?
Milwaukee is the largest city in Wisconsin, set on the western shore of Lake Michigan in the American Midwest. It grew in the nineteenth century with a large German immigrant population and became famous for brewing. Today it is a relaxed lakefront city with strong food traditions, good museums and a lively summer festival season.
Begin at the Milwaukee Art Museum, whose Santiago Calatrava pavilion has a wing-like sunscreen that opens and closes over the lakefront. Motorcycle fans should visit the Harley-Davidson Museum, as the company was founded in Milwaukee. Take a brewery tour, from the historic Miller brewery to the city's many smaller craft breweries. Walk the Milwaukee Riverwalk to the Historic Third Ward and the Milwaukee Public Market, and see the three glass domes of the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory. In summer, the lakefront hosts Summerfest, one of the largest music festivals in the United States. Local favorites include bratwurst, cheese curds, frozen custard and the traditional Friday fish fry.
