Time Off
Art, baseball, beer and an unusual kind of brat are just some of the treats awaiting visitors to Milwaukee. Add to these treats some more - a revitalised downtown, respected theatres, lots of Harley Davidson motorbikes and a reputation for being more friendly than many other cities - and Milwaukee's visitors can be sure of a good time. Some may appreciate the Potawatomi casino, which is a little away from downtown.
And why are the brats unusual ? Because they're not unruly children, but a special kind of hot dog, a Milwaukee speciality.

Milwaukee Shopping
From large malls to artisans' galleries, the city offers a wide range of shops. Beer is a popular buy. Milwaukee is sometimes known as "Brewtown", and both brewpubs and the Miller factory, which offers guided tours, will sell visitors a liquid souvenir of their trips. Wisconsin, the "Dairy State", has a tradition of cheese making, much stimulated by savvy immigrants from continental Europe and many visitors choose to buy a local variety such as Brick, or Colby. For those looking to spend some real money, motorbikes are a good choice. This is where the Harley Davidson company began, and dealerships abound.
Milwaukee Shopping Neighbourhoods
The historic Third Ward offers speciality shopping, including art galleries and artisanal food shops and restaurants. Jefferson, coming off Kilbourn at the Cathedral Square, has upscale shops.
