Driving
Milwaukee is conveniently located at the intersection of I-94 and I-43, with easy access from downtown to the distinct neighborhoods, surrounding suburbs, and other counties through the expansive highway/interstate system. To ensure a safe and timely trip through the city, keep the following tips in mind:
  • Allot extra time for travel during rush hour and dangerous weather conditions.
  • Visit ParkMilwaukee.com to find lots and structures near your destination.
  • Download the MKE Park app to pay for meter parking directly from your phone.
  • Read parking signs closely to ensure you're legally parked.
  • Use a navigation app that takes construction and/or accidents into account when determining a route, such as Google Maps.

Walking
Milwaukee’s compact downtown is easy to navigate and walk around. Spacious paths run through Brady Street on the East side of town, the Historic Third Ward district, and the Milwaukee Lakefront, making the entire city pedestrian-friendly and accessible.  The popular 3-mile Milwaukee RiverWalk allows visitors to explore downtown, as it winds along the Milwaukee River, connecting the Beerline B neighborhood to Old World Third Street and then the Historic Third Ward. Milwaukee's downtown area also features helpful signs to point you in the direction of popular attractions and main streets, so you can feel confident getting around the city while enjoying the view.

Public Transportation - MCTS
The Milwaukee County Transit System runs buses throughout downtown and the surrounding county, making the bus a reliable, convenient, and cost-efficient form of transportation in the city. The Ride MCTS app makes it easy to get around with route information, real-time bus tracking, and the option to buy your ticket online. Purchase a 1-day or 7-day pass and ride the bus everywhere for the entire duration of your trip! The Ride MCTS app allows you to select a destination and arrival/departure date and time, then provides you with multiple route options, all detailing the time and place of departure and arrival as well as the exact location and time for you to board your bus.
