The Beer Mecca You Knew About (and We Won't Disappoint)
Milwaukee's brewing heritage runs deeper than the cheese curds at a state fair. From iconic names like Miller and Pabst to the explosion of craft breweries, there's a pint waiting for every palate. Take a tour, sample some suds, and maybe even snag a souvenir cheesehead hat (it's a Wisconsin thing, don't worry about it).
Pro Tip: Hit up Lakefront Brewery for stunning lakefront views with your beer, or explore the Historic Third Ward for a pub crawl through trendy hotspots.
Beyond the Bottle: A Feast for the Senses (and the Stomach)
Milwaukee isn't a one-trick pony (well, maybe two tricks if you count cheese curds). There's a thriving arts scene with the stunning Milwaukee Art Museum, designed by the famed architect Santiago Calatrava. It looks like a giant metal bird about to take flight, and it's pretty darn cool.
History Buff Alert: Immerse yourself in Milwaukee's past at the Pabst Mansion, a glimpse into the opulent life of a beer baron, or the Milwaukee Public Museum, which will take you on a journey through time.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.
Speaking of journeys, don't forget to explore the Third Ward, a revitalized historic district with trendy shops, art galleries, and enough restaurants to satisfy every craving.
Calling All Culture Vultures: Catch a show at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, one of the oldest professional theaters in the country, or geek out over motorcycles at the Harley-Davidson Museum (Elvis's motorcycle is there, true story).
Nature Calls (and Milwaukee Answers with Parks and a Lake)
Need a break from the city buzz? Milwaukee boasts a stunning waterfront with beaches, parks, and a gorgeous lakefront trail. Rent a kayak, have a picnic in Lakeshore State Park, or simply relax and soak up the sun.
Animal Lovers Rejoice: The Milwaukee County Zoo is a great place to spend a day, with over 2,000 animals representing hundreds of species.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
