Our Destination in the News
We are proud of our role in presenting Madison, Wisconsin to more than 14 million visitors each year because ours is a city that has earned accolades in so many areas. From tried-and-true rankings such as "best places to live" to Madison-only traditions that make us the "best college sports town," we're proud to have earned so many distinctions as a destination.

Over the years, we've created our fair share of fun facts but there's recent press we're proud to write home about, too. Read on to learn more about where Madison is making headlines.


Stories We Can't Wait to Share

Being home to the University of Wisconsin's flagship campus means more than a college-town culture in Madison. It also means our city is one of the U.S. metro areas with the most high-tech jobs. In June, Madison was ranked 5th among the Best U.S. Cities for High-Tech Jobs by MarketWatch.

In May, Madison became a three-time list topper—at least as far as Wisconsin Trails is concerned. In its "Wisconsin's 12 Best Towns" article, Madison was among the state's greatest in the categories of Best Green Town and Best Foodie Town, and runner-up in Best Arts & Entertainment town.
