Milwaukee accommodation from NZ$116

Milwaukee is home to two rivers—the Menomonee and the Milwaukee. You’ll be able to find accommodation all over the city, but the area just north of their confluence is absolutely loaded with Milwaukee hotels and awesome attractions.

Things to Do in Milwaukee

Rev your holiday engine with a tour of the Harley-Davidson Museum on Canal Street, where you can get to know the iconic set of wheels in its hometown—helmets not required. And nothing says “American holiday” like a brewery tour, and Milwaukee is home to Pabst, Schlitz and Miller… so drink up, history buffs!

If you prefer paintings over pistons, check out the collections at Milwaukee Art Museum on the waterfront, which happens to be right near top Milwaukee accommodation and Discovery World. Kick back or let your inner inventor cut loose for the arvo.

When you’re ready to cool off (really cool off, depending on the season), head to the Milwaukee RiverWalk downtown for people-watching, face-stuffing and river boating.

Getting To & Around Milwaukee

Touch down at General Mitchell International Airport (MKE), just 8 km south of downtown. You can easily explore the city by car or take public transit to all of the most popular sights in town—which is great for a brewery tour.
