 EXPLORE TWO GREAT LAKES Dotted along 1,100 magnificent miles of scenic coastline like pearls on a necklace, Wisconsin's harbor towns have been welcoming visitors to their shores for more than 150 years.

MILWAUKEE HOTELS  Milwaukee's lakefront is also known for the variety of ethnic festivals that take place through out the summer, including Summerfest, Festa Italiana and African World Festival. If your day trip turns into an overnight stay, enjoy Old World hospitality and luxurious accommodations at The Pfister hotel, named one of the "World's Best Places to Stay" by Conde Nast Traveler, or if you're looking for something a little funkier, Hotel Metro's style and elegance create a mood full of charm and character in the heart of the city's downtown. Kenosha continues to be one of Wisconsin's lakefront gems. The picturesque HarborPark neighborhood has a promenade winding along the lakeshore through parks, fountains, and sculptures. With the largest marina on Lake Michigan, and vibrant festival scene and great attractions, Racine gives visitors countless reasons to drop anchor (or park the car) and come ashore.
