Local info
Description:
Fast-paced and packed from day to night best describes the shopping districts. Just as lively, Chicago’s top sights bustle with activity – ice skating in Millennium Park, sightseeing through Lincoln Park Zoo, playing at Navy Pier and more. Unwind at a leisurely pace at a luxurious spa, sip tea near a cozy fireplace or lounge about with the stellar skyline in view and cocktails in hand. The season is ripe for arts and culture as well. Immerse yourself in the vibrant theater scene, explore museums and galleries of every variety, and take in sensational performances – from live music, comedy, dance and opera. When you're in Chicago, you can expect to find world-class dining, entertainment here in the largest and most-visited city in the Midwest. Famously called the “Windy City”, you can enjoy the perks of living in a big city here plus the added bonus of lake-side pleasures like boating, kayaking, and other fun activities!
