Milwaukee One-Day Guide: Food & Fun Map ❤️ Just Save This Post!

With the sunny and vibrant spring weather in Chicago this weekend, I felt the urge for a short getaway. So... why not? I hopped on an Amtrak from Chicago and set off for Milwaukee! (Pro tip: Book tickets in advance via the app. I booked on the spot this time, and maybe because it was the weekend, there weren’t many seats left.) 🦞 First Stop | Must-Eat Lobster Roll 📍 St. Paul Fish Company Their lobster roll + fries + salad combo is legendary! 😍 Buttery toasted bread packed with tender, juicy lobster meat—the flavor and quality are absolutely top-notch. 💰 You simply can’t get this kind of quality at this price in a big city. (The market also has cheese shops, meat studios, and other hidden gems.) 🍨 Second Stop | Chocolate Lover’s Heaven 📍 Purple Door Ice Cream This ice cream shop has ridiculously high ratings on Google… and now I know why! Their chocolate single scoop is unbelievably huge 🍫—so rich and smooth, it puts any other chocolate ice cream I’ve tried to shame. The staff scoops it with serious skill—each ball is massive! 🏍 Third Stop | Industrial-Chic Museum 📍 Harley-Davidson Museum Motorcycle fans and design lovers, this is for you! The exhibition features over 200 vintage motorcycles from different eras, starting with the first electric bike over 100 years ago. Even though I’m not a motorcycle enthusiast, I was totally captivated. 🦋 Fourth Stop | Architectural Marvel 📍 Milwaukee Art Museum The museum with “wings” truly lives up to its reputation! The sunlight filtering through the winged ceiling creates stunning light and shadows ✨. The modern art collection inside is also very photogenic. (Wear solid colors for better photos!) 🏀 Fifth Stop | Basketball Fan’s Dream spot 📍 Giannis Antetokounmpo Mural The huge mural has an awesome immersive vibe 🎨! I even ran into a friendly Bucks fan who kindly helped take photos—so cool! 🌇【Tips】 ▪️ Milwaukee is a small city—public transport isn’t very convenient. Following this route is relatively efficient. ▪️ It’s still pretty chilly and windy this season—bring a jacket! 💫 Who says the Midwest doesn’t have hidden gem cities? From food to art to industrial aesthetics, this little city is full of surprises. Weekend escape plan = success! ✅ #Bucks #Milwaukee #MKEfood #MKEtravel #ChicagoDayTrips #AroundChicago #Wisconsin #VisitMilwaukee
