When you land
Things to do in Madison
Madison is Wisconsin’s capital and the home of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, one of the country’s largest research universities. The city sits on a narrow isthmus between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona, with the Capitol dome at its center and the university stretching along the shore. State government and the university are the anchors, but the regional economy has grown well beyond them, led by Epic Systems in nearby Verona, Exact Sciences and a cluster of biotech, software and healthcare companies.
