Capital, culture, active, isthmus, foodies, Bucky. Those half-dozen words are Madison in a nutshell, but particularly so in the fall, when the tone is set by the student-led hustle and bustle, the bounty of the harvest, and the ombré of colors from brilliant red to midnight blue. Whether traveling solo, as a couple, or with friends, a getaway to downtown Madison and the University of Wisconsin campus is ripe for the picking.
