    Shopping along Michigan Ave.

    Great restaurants (Harry Caray's)

    BTW The Art Institute has one of the largest collections of Impressionism in North America as well as an incredible medieval armor collection. Don't miss it.

    The Architecture river boat tour is a great way to see the city and learn about its history. You get a spectacular view of dozens of skyscrapers and other important buildings. It's a relaxing 90 minute tour on the river in the heart of the city.

    There are also several tour guides that you can come accross while you're walking around downtown.

    Also, if you want a beautiful view of the skyline i suggest stopping near the Adler Planetarium especially at night, it's just magical.

    that's a very great record from 1985 to make a call from. yet once you like one ingredient Millennium Park is a would desire to-see. there is no longer something like it in any city interior the international. I used to wish Chicago had something like Centre Pompidou in Paris with its plaza finished of whimsical sculptures and fountains and one rather cool development. because of the fact of Gehry, Kapoor, and limitless others I think of Parisians at the instant are wishing that they had M-Park.
