In beautiful Downtown Waukesha, Main Street follows the Fox River and the Fox River Trail. The landmark Clock Tower overlooks Downtown Waukesha, which is filled with historic architecture. Stand where Main Street intersects with Broadway to appreciate the beauty of Downtown Waukesha: brick-paved streets, period lighting, sidewalk cafes, and brightly-painted storefronts. The neighborhood is walkable and bicycle-friendly, making it easy to enjoy the variety of boutiques, restaurants, art galleries, taprooms, and pubs that populate the historic buildings.

Carroll University, established in 1846 and the oldest university in Wisconsin, is located on the south side of Downtown Waukesha. Waukesha County Technical College is also downtown, located off East Broadway.
