Best of Chicago

Chicago, originally a small trading post on Lake Michigan, has evolved into one of the most renowned cities in the nation. Take a trip to "The Windy City" and indulge in a deep dish pizza for a truly unique holiday experience. Explore "The Loop," the city's main business district, and be amazed by its collection of skyscrapers, embassies, and universities. This area is rich in shopping and fine dining opportunities. If you're feeling worn out from the city's hustle and bustle, slow down and enjoy the Riverwalk, a pedestrian path along the Chicago River, or visit the numerous museums and parks the city offers. You'll forget you're in the heart of the city when you stroll through the Garfield Park Conservatory, and the Art Institute of Chicago will let you admire artistic masterpieces from around the globe. The must-see spots in Chicago include: the Willis Tower, a city icon, the Millennium Park, a fantastic urban park and one of Chicago's most famous landmarks that hosts many major city events, and the Shedd Aquarium, one of the largest aquariums in the world. Known as Chicago's front yard, the Grant Park is a beautifully landscaped park offering many spots for an urban getaway, while the Navy Pier, located right on Lake Michigan, provides a festive environment with entertainment, shops, and restaurants. No tour of Chicago is complete without experiencing the nightlife, so end your day at a jazz lounge and let the soothing sounds of music whisk you away.
