Best Free Thing to Do in Milwaukee: Stroll along the two-mile long Milwaukee RiverWalk by the Milwaukee River is an excellent and unique way to get to know Milwaukee. You can stop at one of many great restaurants or brewpubs along the way. Numerous exhibitions of public art turn the RiverWalk into a sort of outdoor gallery where you can see the current art trends in the city. Many colorful signs placed along the Riverwalk explain the city's history. The Riverwalk area is also a venue for annual city events like the Milwaukee River Challenge. The Riverwalk area links three of the most interesting Milwaukee districts: Downtown, Historic Third Ward, and Beerline B.
