There is plenty to do in the Madison area in the summer. Consistently ranked one of the best-places to live, it’s a beautiful destination for biking and walking because the downtown/campus area is surrounded by two lakes. Whether it’s shopping on State Street, touring the Capitol building, or savoring a meal at one of the many international restaurants, Madison is always fun. Bicycles can be rented at one of many on-street bike racks or at several bike shops near campus.
