Madison is the Capitol city of Wisconsin, one of the most surprising states in the American Midwest. This relatively small city is dominated by bicycles, lakes, government and education.
Consistently rated one of the most livable cities in the country, it's a progressive place that's made a habit of welcoming visitors and improving lives.
The State Capitol Building is surely one of the most spectacular in the US, while the sprawling UW-Madison campus is a leader in many academic fields ... and don't forget the beer and cheese that put Wisconsin on the map in the first place.
