Cosmopolitan Chicago enjoys a picturesque setting on the shores of Lake Michigan and even has lakeside beaches. It also boasts a scenic river plus there’s plenty of green spaces including wonderful Millennium Park, home to the Cloud Gate sculpture.
A Chicago holiday has plenty to keep you busy. Explore the superb museums, indulge in shopping along Magnificent Mile, admire the famed architecture on a river cruise, have fun on the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier and ascend to the ‘360 Chicago’ observation deck for spellbinding views across the city. By night head to the Theatre District for dining and theatre shows, or tuck into a slice of deep-dish pizza before catching some live music in one of Chicago's many cool blues bars.

Chicago & the Great Lakes Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Ally Haviland
Chicago is a must for anyone who loves bustling cities but has already experienced the bright lights of New York and waterfront views of San Francisco. Home to some of the tallest and most unique skyscrapers, how about jumping on a river cruise to admire them from below, getting your culture fix at the Art Institute and finishing off the day relaxing in one of the beautiful parks or on the beach that meets Lake Michigan. As evening descends get your teeth into perhaps what Chicago is most famous for, deep dish pizza, and dance the night away in one of the many renowned jazz clubs that are dotted around this eclectic city.
Jane Poyser
Chicago is one of my favourite cities in the USA and it's so easy to explore on foot. The newly renovated River Walk has some brilliant bar options and is perfect for a morning run. I'd also recommend taking an Architecture River Cruise for a great orientation of the city.
