Built on an isthmus between lakes Monona and Mendota, Madison is renowned for its beautiful scenery. You will find the best of all worlds in Wisconsin's vibrant capital city: natural beauty and outdoor recreation, stimulating cultural offerings, distinctive restaurants and shops, and an irreverent spirit of fun.
A progressive, cosmopolitan city of over 200,000, Madison is the seat of state government, and an eclectic, electric atmosphere that makes the city a great place to live or visit. Madison offers both small town charm and a range of cultural and recreational opportunities usually found in much larger cities. And, with four lakes and over 200 parks, it is one of the nation's most scenic cities. A host of picturesque communities, many retaining their strong ethnic heritage, surrounds the city.
Urban culture, natural beauty, small town charm - the greater Madison area offers it all!
