Review:

Madison is Wisconsin's delightful capital city, located west of Milwaukee between the shores of Lakes Monona and Mendota. The city is home to many unique attractions and one of the nation's most acclaimed culinary scenes, with several restaurants in its downtown district helmed by James Beard Award-winning chefs.

Visitors can enjoy delicious regions foods like Wisconsin cheese curds or blue moon ice cream, dine on supper club-style fish fry or prime rib specials at many area restaurants, or attend the annual Great Taste of the Midwest craft beer festival, one of the nation's most exclusive beer festivals.

The Wisconsin Historical Museum details the region's pioneer and industrial history through a variety of exhibits. Many biking paths traverse the city, including the Capital City State Trail, which passes Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Monona Terrace.
