Consigli per viaggiatori
Muoversi in zona
28th Street adds 20 minutes
28th Street and East Beltline are loaded with chains and traffic. Add 20 min to your GPS because inevitably there will be a holdup.
Cosa portare
Layers. Layers. Layers.
The weather is ever changing and unpredictable. Check before you pack but no matter what season, layering is best!!
In viaggio con bambini
Pack Light!
It’s a humid then wet cold kinda city. Awesome in its own light but we are by water. Pack light and stay where the amenities are actually family friendly... toys, outdoor toys, beds, etc. You do not want to be bogged down and sweating.
Da non perdere
Art Prize
In awe every year in the way a city and artists can collaborate and bring to the lay people an incredible art experience.
Prenota prima di andarci
Summer is expensive !
We have the most incredible lakes and state parks... not to mention the UP. Don’t wait to make reservations. Prices go up and places fill up fast for late spring thru early fall.
