Lifestyle: Shopping & Dining

Wisconsin is known for several offerings related to the state's economy – tours of cranberry bogs, cheese factories and breweries provide a chance to buy and sample. The many ethnic groups that have settled throughout the state are represented in a wealth of ethnic specialties – try German sauerbraten, Danish kringle and Cornish pasties. And visitors shouldn't miss Door County's traditional fish boil.

American Indian handcrafted items can be found in the north. Around the state, visitors will find out-of-the-way antique shops, designer and factory outlet centers, and upscale malls.

Accommodations in Wisconsin range from rustic northern resorts and cottages to quaint bed and breakfasts. The Lake Geneva area in southern Wisconsin offers several spa resorts.
