Madison at a Glance
A progressive, cosmopolitan city of 200,000, Madison is home to the
world-class University of Wisconsin, the seat of state government, and
an eclectic, electric atmosphere that energizes any visitor's stay.
Built on a narrow isthmus between Lakes Monona and Mendota, Madison
is one of the nation's most scenic cities. Five area lakes and more
than 200 parks provide countless recreational activities, from swimming,
sailing and fishing to biking, hiking, inline skating and more. Madison
offers both small town charm and a range of cultural and recreational
opportunities usually found in much larger cities.
