The Willis Tower (pronounced “Sears Tower” by locals), formerly the tallest building in the world, hosts the Skydeck, located 103 floors up, from which you can see up to four states and 75 miles, or stand on the “Ledge”, a quarter of a mile above the pedestrians below.
Millenium Park is a can’t-miss attraction for any Chicago visit. The lakefront campus, located in the heart of downtown, is home to the iconic Cloud Gate statue (aka “The Bean”), interactive fountains, tranquil gardens, free events, public art, rock climbing, and plenty of green space.
Chicago’s amazing Museum Campus houses three of the city’s leading institutions all in one place. Spend a day exploring natural history and world cultures at Field Museum, underwater worlds at the Shedd Aquarium, and far-out galaxies at the Adler Planetarium — and all from a breathtaking lakefront vantage point. Afterward, continue your exploration at Museum Campus South.
The renowned Art Institute of Chicago is one of the oldest and largest art museums in the country. The only museum in the world to be ranked among the world’s best by TripAdvisor four years in a row, the Art Institute is a must-see during any trip to Chicago. Founded in 1879, the Art Institute houses the largest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art on the planet outside the Louvre. It’s also home to more than 300,000 pieces of art, including some of the world’s most revered masterpieces. The museum offers a full schedule of special exhibits and public events.
This impressive tour is a must-do, covering over 50 remarkable buildings. Chicago is the birthplace of the skyscraper, after all. The Chicago Architecture Center is your gateway to discover the city through on-site exhibitions at its stunning location above the Chicago Riverwalk and an array of tour options throughout downtown.
