Chicago is one of the world’s greatest cities. Located on the southwest tip of Lake Michigan, its amazing skyscrapers are the first thing to strike you. Take one of the elevators up to the Sears Tower for an amazing view over the lake.

This stunning city greets you with a sweeping skyline punctuated by the tallest building in America. A bold first impression to a world-class city rich with surprises. From towering skyscrapers overlooking sandy beaches, twilight concerts in Millennium Park, baseball games at Wrigley Field and free fireworks at Navy Pier — Chicago has it all, especially during the summer months!#

Each neighbourhood in Chicago has its unique personality. The historic charm of Old Town, the artistic flair of Wicker Park, and the upscale ambience of the Gold Coast cater to various tastes. The vibrant street art of Pilsen and the lively atmosphere of Lincoln Park Zoo adds to the diverse tapestry of the city. Chicago’s culinary scene is a delectable journey, celebrated for its deep-dish pizza, Chicago-style hot dogs, and diverse international cuisine. The city’s neighbourhoods, like Greektown, Chinatown, and Little Italy, offer authentic flavours. Michelin-starred restaurants and trendy eateries, such as those in the West Loop, showcase the city’s gastronomic diversity.

The summer season is ripe for arts and culture as well. Immerse yourself in the vibrant theatre scene at Steppenwolf, Goodman or Broadway in Chicago. Explore museums and galleries of every variety, like the Shedd Aquarium and the esteemed Art Institute of Chicago. Take in sensational performances — from live music, comedy, dance and opera. With the sparkling lakefront setting the scene, plan your stay around ‘can’t-miss’ events like the Grant Park Music Festival in Millennium Park, Taste of Chicago and Lollapalooza in Grant Park, and the Air and Water Show on North Avenue Beach.

Chicagoans are passionate about their sports teams. Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, radiates historic charm, while the United Center hosts the Chicago Bulls (NBA) and the Chicago Blackhawks (NHL). Attending a game, especially during baseball season, provides an authentic taste of the city’s sports culture.
