View on BookingMilwaukee is a city that surprises visitors who arrive without high expectations. On the shores of Lake Michigan, with a clean skyline and a compact, walkable downtown, it offers a combination of culture, food and local life that few Midwest cities can match. It is also an affordable city: hotels, restaurants and activities cost significantly less than in Chicago, just 90 minutes to the south.
Milwaukee has a strong identity of its own: it is the city of craft beer, jazz and blues, lakeside festivals and a rapidly growing food scene. Summerfest, held every summer, is the world's largest live music festival by attendance.
The Milwaukee Art Museum is the city's architectural icon: designed by Santiago Calatrava, its movable wings — the Burke Brise Soleil — open and close each day as if the building is breathing. In front of the museum, Lake Michigan offers walks and unique views.
The Historic Third Ward is the liveliest neighbourhood for eating and shopping: former factories converted into restaurants, galleries, the Milwaukee Public Market and design shops. The RiverWalk runs along the Milwaukee River through downtown.
For beer lovers, Lakefront Brewery and Milwaukee Brewing Company offer highly recommended guided tours. And Fiserv Forum is home to the Milwaukee Bucks NBA team.
Milwaukee blends Lake Michigan's shoreline, the Santiago Calatrava–designed Art Museum, and a storied brewing scene. Downtown offers RiverWalk, theaters and the Public Market; the Historic Third Ward adds boutiques and restaurants.
Get around on foot, The Hop streetcar or rideshare. It's a compact city great for concerts at Fiserv Forum and festivals like Summerfest.
General Mitchell International Airport is about 10 km from downtown: no long queues and direct access by taxi, Uber or city bus to downtown in under 20 minutes. There are direct flights from many US cities and some international connections.
From Chicago it's easy to arrive by train: Amtrak covers the journey in about 90 minutes. Once in Milwaukee, the The Hop streetcar connects the airport, the Historic Third Ward and downtown, and is free on its main route.
All recommended hotels sit in strategic areas: Downtown, East Town and by the lake. Ideal for walking and public transport.
