Chicago (without hyperlinks)Chicago, nestled on the shores of Lake Michigan, offers cosmopolitan delights in a friendly Midwestern city. Most tourist attractions are located in the downtown area and the El train makes it easy and affordable to get around.
Culture abounds in the form of multiple museums, theatres and dining options. The “Museum Campus” is home to the Museum of Science and Industry, the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum and the Adler Planetarium, and the nearby Art Institute showcases world-class art and hosts special traveling exhibits.

Stroll down the Magnificent Mile, picnic in Millennium Park, soak up the sun at North Avenue Beach, or head to the free Lincoln Park Zoo. Visit the famous Sears Tower´s Skydeck for jaw-dropping views of the city, or skip the admission fee and enjoy a drink at the Signature Lounge on the 96th floor of the John Hancock Building. Baseball fans will definitely want to take in a game at historic Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs.
Dine on haute cuisine at celebrity-chef spots like Tru, Alinea, and Moto or nosh on Chicago specialties of deep-dish pizza and Chicago-style hot dogs at landmarks like Pizzeria Uno and Portillo´s. No matter what your tastes, you´ll never go hungry in Chicago.
