While the city of Milwaukee and the shores of Lake Michigan seem to get a lot of attention in Wisconsin, the capital city of Madison is a lovely place with quite a few fun things to do. This lakeside city is full of history, natural beauty, and local charm.In fact, this city, located in the central part of southern Wisconsin, is nestled between four beautiful lakes of its own. Madison is served by its own mid-sized airport with flight connections to most US hubs. It’s also on the rail line to and from Milwaukee and beyond, and well-connected by highway to other midwest road trip destinations.
