Nestled along the western shore of Lake Michigan, Milwaukee stands as what I see as the gateway to the upper Midwest of the United States. Its rich tapestry of cultural heritage, lively neighborhoods, and robust industrial past have all contributed to its unique character over the years. Milwaukee is a true melting pot, showcasing the influences of its early settlers, including German, Polish, Italian, and Irish communities. This diverse background is reflected in the city’s stunning architecture, renowned breweries, and a strong sense of community spirit. While there are many fantastic spots to explore in this gateway city, this guide will highlight a few must-visit destinations. Here, you can enjoy a mansion tour of one of the city’s notable industrialists, tour a historic brewery, and check out a quirky museum filled with thousands of bobbleheads. Best of all, many of these attractions are conveniently located within walking distance of an exceptional Riverwalk.
