Day 1 - Dive into Madison's History & Architecture

Begin your journey into Madison with a guided tour of the Wisconsin State Capitol. Here, you can revel in the grandeur of its beautiful architecture and immerse yourself in the state's legislative history. Following a productive morning, head to The Old Fashioned for some hearty Wisconsin comfort food. Post lunch, it's time to explore the tranquil Olbrich Botanical Gardens, filled to the brim with vibrant, exotic floral displays, I bet you'll lose count of the different species you'll encounter! As the day winds down, head towards Monona Terrace. Why, you ask? Well, you wouldn't want to miss the chance of witnessing the sun set over Lake Monona, trust me on this one. And if you're lucky, you might also catch a concert or an art exhibit here.

Day 2 - Unleash the Foodie & Art Connoisseur in You

Start your second day in Madison with a leisurely stroll in the bustling Dane County Farmers' Market. Sample some of the freshest produce Wisconsin has to offer, and don't forget to try some 'cheese curds', a local favorite! Need a caffeine break? Grab a cup from Colectivo Coffee and you'll be ready to conquer the day. Post this, make your way to the remarkable Chazen Museum of Art offering a rich smorgasbord of exhibitions and collections. Once you've marveled at the art, take a breather at Ian's Pizza, but don't forget to save room for dessert! Round off your day with a table at Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream Company, their scoops of happiness will make your day a whole lot sweeter.

Day 3 - Outdoor Adventures & Brew Tasting

As the saying goes 'save the best for last', so on your last day we have a twofold adventure. Start your day drifting leisurely on a kayak on Lake Mendota. The rhythmic caress of the oars on water is an almost therapeutic experience. Now, recharge with a sumptuous meal at Dlux, where every dish is a masterpiece. What's Madison without paying homage to its iconic beer culture? Spend your afternoon with a curated tour through some of Madison's most famous breweries, like Ale Asylum and One Barrel Brewing Company. Top the day off with a well-deserved gourmet meal at A Pig in a Fur Coat, you've earned it!
