Wisconsin is home to vibrant big cities and extraordinary small towns that showcase the unmatched beauty the state has to offer, not just to the people who call it home but to anyone who visits to see what makes the Badger State so special.

Thrillist compiled a list of the "must-visit small town" in every state, smaller destinations that offer "a respite from big-city life" and a glimpse of the "romanticism of small towns" in America. From beach towns promising white sandy shores to mountainside villages and idyllic coastal havens, the list is full of locales you simply have to see for yourself.

Of all the unique spots around Wisconsin, the state's best small town to visit is Sister Bay. With a population of around 1,100, this region has a wide-variety of attractions that could keep anyone entertained. According to the site:

"Door County is Wisconsin's 'up north' playground, a veritable show-stopping destination complete with small-town charm, miles of dramatic coastline, and quirky local businesses. The waterfront Dörr Hotel adds Scandinavian-style flair to this cozy lakeside enclave, while stalwarts like Earl's Sister Bay Bowl & Supper Club harken back to a simpler time. Stop into Door County Creamery for the area's best goat cheese (a strong statement in the state where dairy reigns supreme). If time allows, do the farm tour to taste cheese with a certified Master of Cheese while goats scamper about the pastoral backdrop."
