I’ve have been to a lot of cities within the US and some are personal favorites, like New York City, Seattle, Chicago, and San Diego. The one thing these cities have in common is that everyone knows about them, and for good reason. But, in my opinion I think Milwaukee, Wisconsin needs to get more recognition as a travel destination in the US.
Milwaukee is situated along Lake Michigan and because it's near the Great Lakes it experiences rapidly changing weather, with cold, windy, snowy winters, and warm, humid summers. The warmest month of the year is July, while January is the coldest month
Milwaukee is home to almost 600,000 residents which makes it close to the top 30 largest cities in the US and is the main cultural and economic center of the metropolitan area. With a city this size it is home to an NBA team, an MLB team, the Milwaukee Brewers, and a nearby NFL team.
Although the city may be best known for beer, there is more to it than just bar food and cheese churds. The city is quickly building up a food scene that has everything from 5 star restaurants to grabbing a quick slice of pizza. I also had Mexican, ramen, pastries, seafood and all were great! Also, if you are not a huge fan of beer there are things like distilleries, cocktail bars, and wine bars throughout the city.
Milwaukee is a popular venue for water sports because it is close to Lake Michigan. If you don’t want to go out on the lake you can easily kayak through the city!
If you are going to kayak in the city I definitely recommend you head north on the river. We went south because there was a bar I wanted to check out but it is pretty industrialized. Just trust me- there are better beers and views if you just go north.
If you don’t want to be in the water you can easily check out the city by renting a bike and going to parks, black cat alley, the bronze fronz or the North point lighthouse. The North Point Lighthouse, which was built in 1888, is now a museum and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
MilIwaukee is also often referred to as the City of Festivals because of the numerous festivals throughout the summer. June has festivals for the LGBT and Polish communities. Summerfest spans 11 days at the end of June and beginning of July. There are French, Greek, Italian and German festivals in July. There are African, Arab, Irish , Mexican, and American Indian events from August through September. Milwaukee is also home to Trainfest, the largest operating model railroad show in America, in November.
During the summer months, there is a real emphasis on being outdoors and the city provides a lot of options!
Cathedral Park in Downtown Milwaukee hosts "Jazz in the Park" on Thursday nights. Nearby Pere Marquette Park hosts "River Rhythms" on Wednesday nights.
If you aren’t into festivals or listening to music, don’t worry because you have the option of relaxing by the beach at South Shore, Mckinley, or Bradford beach.
Milwaukee has many museums like the Pabst Mansion, Milwaukee Public Museum, Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum , Harley Davidson Museum, the National bobblehead Hall of Fame and more.
The Historic Third Ward, which is about three blocks south of downtown is home to the Milwaukee Public Market which is a unique downtown food destination! It provides shopping and unique and quality food - like salmon jerky and clothing from independent sellers. But the historic third ward has more to it than just that! There are art galleries , performing arts venues, patio, rooftop and water front dining, boutiques and a river walk
If you are staying in the downtown area you can easily walk to most of your destinations whether on Brady street, popular for diverse dining options and a vibrant bar scene. The Historic Third Ward or elsewhere and enjoy the sprawling house in areas near lake park and the Old North Point Water Tower or old churches throughout the city.
