It’s official: We’ve made it more than halfway through 2019. And if you’re anything like us, you’re probably already looking to plan your vacation for next year. Luckily Airbnb released its forecast for the top places to visit in 2020, with Milwaukee coming in at number one. 

Yep, we’re totally serious. Based on the company’s booking data, the Wisconsin city saw a 729 percent booking increase since last September. Pretty impressive.

On the shores of Lake Michigan, Milwaukee has an exciting bar and restaurant scene full of cultural and family-friendly attractions like the Milwaukee County Zoo and the Manfred Olson Planetarium. So, if you’re considering taking your next trip to this historical metropolis, we’ve rounded up our top picks for places to stay. 

See the list below.
