Walk or ride! (bus or bike)
It can be easy to get around Madison in car, bus, bike or feet - but you’ll have to pay for parking downtown, and finding a spot may be tough on busy summer weekends. You are in a great location to walk or rent an electric BCycle bike. There are bike docking stations scattered around downtown. Lastly, the bus stop is right outside your door to head east, or else just 2 blocks away to find a bus running west (towards downtown).
