Introducing Madison
Madison gets a lot of kudos – most walkable city, best road-biking city, most vegetarian friendly, gay friendly, environmentally friendly, and just plain all-round friendliest city in the USA. Ensconced on a narrow isthmus between Mendota and Monona lakes, it’s a pretty combination of small, grassy state capital and liberal, bookish college town. To get an indication of the hipness factor at work here, consider this is the place that birthed the cheeky, farcical newspaper The Onion (www.theonion.com).

The visitors center (608-255-2537, 800-373-6376; www.visitmadison.com; 615 E Washington Ave; 8am-5pm Mon-Fri) is six blocks east of Capitol Sq, though you’ll likely find all you need at the university’s Memorial Union. Isthmus (www.thedailypage.com) is the free entertainment paper.
