MILWAUKEE MITCHELL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Milwaukee Mitchell Airport offers nonstop flights to 35+ destinations coast-to-coast, and hundreds of destinations are available with one connection. Mitchell has an on-site Amtrak station and hosts nine auto rental agencies. But the taxi ride into town is just 15 minutes. Therefore, if you are staying downtown at our Springhill Suites Hotel, ditch the rental car and avoid paying the daily parking fee.
TACOS & TEQUILA MILWAUKEE FOOD TOUR
Even though Milwaukee is far from Mexico, the buzzy Walker’s Point neighborhood is home to one of Wisconsin’s largest Latino populations. Shake up your Saturday night and come enjoy tacos, sopes, and chimichangas, all paired with margaritas and tequila-infused cocktails on our local-favorite Tacos and Tequila Milwaukee Food Tour.
