Workation in Madison: the essentials
Downtown Madison occupies a narrow isthmus between Lakes Mendota and Monona, with the domed Wisconsin State Capitol at one end and the University of Wisconsin campus at the other. About 270,000 people live here, and the economy rests on state government, the university, American Family Insurance and biotech firms such as Exact Sciences. On summer Saturdays the Dane County Farmers' Market circles Capitol Square. The centre is easy to cover by bike, and the lakes mean paddling in summer and skating in winter. Winters are cold and snowy, and Dane County Regional Airport, about 8 km out, mostly connects through larger hubs.
