Picture in your mind's eye two pure blue, clean and clear glacial lakes surrounded by rolling hills. Fill in the picture with a charming Wisconsin city bustling with people who are eager to welcome visitors and to share this idyllic scene, and you will be envisioning Madison, Wisconsin. Much of the activity in Madison centers upon the 18,000 acres of lake surface within or just outside the city limits, but downtown has many of the best museums, shops and restaurants in the country. Madison is truly a place for all seasons and all travelers.
