MILWAUKEE, WI – Historic Milwaukee is excited to announce the return of its popular indoor walking tours, beginning Thursday, November 6, 2025, with the Skywaukee and HOP Streetcar tours. The 2025–2026 Winter Tour Season invites locals and visitors alike to discover Milwaukee’s architectural treasures and transit history—without worrying about the weather.

Skywaukee tours will be offered Thursday through Saturday, exploring the city’s skywalk system on foot and its connection to Milwaukee’s downtown development and design. The HOP Streetcar Tour will be available on Saturdays, highlighting key sites and stories along the streetcar route.

“Our indoor tours are the perfect way to keep exploring Milwaukee’s history year-round,” said Kat Repinski, Visitor Services and Social Media Coordinator at Historic Milwaukee. “Whether you’re learning about downtown’s skywalks or hopping on the streetcar, these tours offer a fun, warm, and insightful way to see the city from a new perspective.”

Last Chance to Tour the Milwaukee Public Market in 2025

Historic Milwaukee’s Milwaukee Public Market Tour, created in partnership with the Market to celebrate its 20th anniversary, has been a fan favorite throughout 2025. Guests have two final opportunities to experience this unique tour on November 16 and December 21.

This special tour dives into the Market’s development, showcases stories of vendors past and present, explores the neighborhood’s role as a hub for Commission houses and wholesale groceries, and reveals the hidden history behind antiques on display.
