Milwaukee Really Is a Destination City

You often take your hometown for granted and think that life is more exciting in some other place. But that’s the great thing about traveling – you experience those exciting places and when you come back home, you begin to appreciate what’s right in your own backyard. While I was busy visiting other cities, I barely noticed that Milwaukee had acquired the arts, entertainment, culture, shopping, cafes and fine dining venues that make it an exciting place to visit. It’s not just brats and beer anymore. Milwaukee has evolved and continues to emerge as a Destination City – a great place for a getaway. First of all, the flight into Mitchell International is a breeze – a very uncomplicated airport experience. Midwest Airlines brings visitors to Milwaukee from 47 cities across the country – mostly on nonstop, very comfortable flights.

Downtown Milwaukee is about 15 minutes from the airport by cab or shuttle. If you’re staying downtown, you won’t need a car. The city provides free summer trolley service to all the key areas you’ll want to visit. A number of very good hotels are clustered around the Midwest Airlines Center, the city’s premier convention location. Others are located a tad north near the lakefront. To plan a trip around a particular event or festival, review your options at Mollie Boutell’s blog where she offers some great reviews.
