Highlights of Madison
1. Sustainable and Walkable.
5 lakes. 100+ LEED-certified buildings. 200+ miles of biking and hiking trails. 270 parks. 300+ restaurants, shops and attractions within a mile of Monona Terrace. Here, sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a tradition.
2. Hotels and Unique Venues.
12,000 regional hotel rooms and nearly 100 additional meeting venues to match your vibe, from historic to modern to boutique-y to luxury. Each is an opportunity to inject personality into your itinerary.
3. Capital and Campus.
All the amenities that come with being a capital city are multiplied by being home to UW-Madison, too. This Top 10 research institution and a progressive mindset have earned us a reputation for innovation.
4. New and Coming Soon.
From adding 3 gates and more flights at Dane County Regional Airport to the sustainable Lake Monona Waterfront Design plan that potentially expands Monona Terrace to opening the 260-room Embassy Suites across the street, Madison is getting even easier to get to—and harder to leave behind.
