MSN TravelAwait's ranked Milwaukee second on its list of the 12 favorite U.S. cities.

Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson shared the list on his Twitter Tuesday.MSN TravelAwaits highlighted several key attractions to Milwaukee including its nickname as "Brew City.

"Just 2 hours north of the Windy City, set on the shores of Lake Michigan, is the vibrant city of Milwaukee. Brew City is known for its thriving macro and craft beer scene; in the early 1900s before the dry years of prohibition, Milwaukee was home to four of the world’s largest breweries. While most of these breweries are no more, Miller still calls Brew City home," MSN TravelAwaits wrote in the list.

Readers were encouraged to check out one of Milwaukee's local craft breweries, which, of course, had to include sharing a plate of Wisconsin cheese curds.

The famous Calatrava wings of the Milwaukee Art Museum were also noted.

"Head to the waterfront to experience the work of art that is Milwaukee Art Museum: the museum’s roof is mobile and the 'wings' move at set times throughout the day," MSN TravelAwaits wrote.

Milwaukee's lakefront was recognized for its 10 miles of shoreline and open water to rent a boat, motor, sail or enjoy the local beaches.

"Three rivers merge within the city, making inland waterways an exciting excursion as well. Explore by boat or by land following the Milwaukee RiverWalk, stopping in at one of the many fantastic dining options along the way," MSN TravelAwaits concluded.
