When you land
Things to do in Milwaukee
Milwaukee built its fortune on manufacturing and beer, and both still shape the city. Harley-Davidson, Northwestern Mutual, Rockwell Automation and a long list of industrial, financial and healthcare companies are headquartered here, and the Molson Coors brewery in the Menomonee Valley carries on the Miller tradition. Downtown has been remade in recent decades with a lakefront art museum, a riverwalk lined with restaurants and Fiserv Forum, home of the Bucks, while the Historic Third Ward has become the city’s gallery, design and dining district.
