Things To Do
Milwaukee Art Museum
Iconic architecture and an expansive collection of over 30,000 works of art spanning from antiquity to the present make this art museum a must-see landmark.
Veterans Park
A beautiful park right in between Lake Michigan and Downtown Milwaukee. Ride a surrey bike, paddle in a swan boat, or take a peaceful walk along the lakefront. If you head North, stop by the lakeside Colectivo for a pick-me-up and go to Bradford Beach!
Historic Third Ward
A thriving arts and fashion district, the Third Ward is the heart of Milwaukee. It features cute boutiques, award-winning restaurants, art galleries, and our favorite, Milwaukee Public Market.
Blüm Coffee Garden
Basma's all-time favorite coffee shop (and flower garden!!). Their flavors are really unique and the interior is full of plants from the garden. Grab a drink and walk around the greenhouse to shop for some fresh herbs and vibrant flowers.
Grant Park
This massive park has everything you could ask for — hiking trails, tennis courts, golf courses, a playground, and an expansive Lake Michigan beach.
