Milwaukee Area Attractions

It's doubtful that anyone has ever used the words "Milwaukee" and "glamorous" in the same breath. The city is more about eating, drinking and having a good time than projecting a flashy image. Still, Milwaukeeans appreciate what's special about their city -- and we think visitors will, too. To be fair, Milwaukee does have its share of glamorous spots. The city makes the most of its setting on Lake Michigan, with miles of beaches and parks, marinas and bike paths. It values culture, with cutting-edge museums and renowned performing-arts companies.
