National Geographic magazine has included Milwaukee as one of its 25 top travel destinations for 2023, which it says are “under the radar, ahead of the curve, and ready for you to start exploring.”
Milwaukee is included as one of five “top spots for slow travel in 2023.” These destinations are “forward-thinking communities…offering more opportunities for meaningful travel,” National Geographic says.

Oh, and there’s a reference to Laverne and Shirley, too.
