WHAT TO VISIT IN MILWAUKEE
Milwaukee downtown
is the main travel reference in
the city. The Riverwalk has been modernized and is now a vibrant
nightlife and entertainment center.
Milwaukee Art Museum, the Discovery World, the Humphrey Imax
Dome Theater and the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts (for
theater and culture events) are major cultural references in
downtown (other museums: Milwaukee Art Museum, Museum Center
Complex, Milwaukee Public Museum...).
If you want to visit one of Milwaukee famous breweries, you may
try the Miller Brewing Company, five miles west of downtown.
Milwaukee's downtown is the main nightlife and entertainment
center, but there are several neighbourhoods with different
ethnic and entertainment mixtures. For bars and Italian
restaurants, visit the Brady Street.
Walter's Point, close to downtown, is a gay (and straight)
amusement district.
BEST TIME TO
VISIT
MILWAUKEE
If you want to privilege animation, outdoor activities,
festivals and sports then Summer
(and late Spring and early
Fall)
is the right season to visit Milwaukee.
Ethnic festivals are numerous and a main regional
attraction in Summer time.
Autumn
or late Spring are excellent times to visit Milwaukee: they
have the year's most agreeable days and temperatures.
Milwaukee' winters are severe,
with snowstorms and intense rainfalls.
Snowstorms are current in December,
January and February and are a good opportunity for snow sports
enthusiasts.
WHEN NOT TO GO TO
MILWAUKEE
For
low
accommodation rates, avoid July and August - a period where humidity and high temperatures may
strike the region (see the
Weather Data Map below, for details).
You also may want to avoid the winter
months, when temperatures attain very low levels, and occasional
snowstorms strike Wisconsin.
