Milwaukee Airport Guide
Milwaukee is a city of architecture, history, brewing and festivals so there’s plenty to keep you occupied. Some of the world’s most creative buildings can be found in the city and spend some time looking up the Milwaukee Art Museum, as famous for its building as the art inside. The US Bank Centre is the city’s tallest building at 42 floors whilst the Hoan Bridge is the last of its type in the US.
Despite the collapse of the major brewers, there are still several micro-breweries where you can take a tour and see how beer is made. Try Sprecher’s which also makes soft drinks so you can take the kids along too.
