Come to Chicago to experience a thriving arts scene alongside compelling history. The city is home to top class museums, such as the Art Institute of Chicago, which was voted the best museum in the world in 2014. The Field Museum is one of the largest natural history museums in the world, and the Chicago History Museum boasts the incredible story of this urban area.

More modern attractions in Chicago are Millennium Park, which spreads over 25 acres and contains The Bean, a beloved contemporary statue. There are plenty of chances to get a glimpse at the alluring Chicago skyline; check out the Willis Tower Skydeck or the John Hancock Observatory for a view over the skyscrapers and different neighborhoods of the city. Any trip to Chicago must include some time by the water. For example, the 26 mile long public lakeshore park system offers a fantastic bike ride route. Alternatively, you can try an Architecture River Cruise, where you will learn about the history of over fifty of Chicago’s most cherished buildings. While you’re down by the water, be sure not to miss the iconic Navy Pier!

There are many opportunities to snap up iconic Chicago souvenirs, the city has several districts devoted to the shopaholic. Wicker Park and Bucktown are two particular favorites, containing a variety of bookstores, toy stores, home shops, and thrift shops. Be sure to take a detour to check out the Gold Coast area of Chicago, which contains a variety of unique boutique shops, housed in gorgeous historic buildings. There are also plenty of cafes in the city once you’re all shopped out!

When the sun goes down, Chicago remains very much alive. For evening entertainment, check out Andy’s Jazz Club or Blue Chicago and experience some of the extraordinary music that the city is famous for. Chicago also has a fantastic comedy scene, with lots of improv and stand up entertainment.
