Chicago is a city of contrasts on the shores of Lake Michigan with a rich history, from industrial power and architectural revolutions to the cultural diversity of the districts. There are skyscrapers and green coasts, academic rigor and street life, and walks along the embankment always fill the city rhythm with a special atmosphere.
Chicago's man-made attractions are striking in scope and variety: Millennium Park with mirror sculpture Cloud Gate, Willis Tower (formerly Sears Ta'uer) and John Hancock Center offer high-rise views, while Michigan Avenue and the Magnificent Mile are ideal for walking and shopping. Grant Park with Buckingham Fountain, Adler Planetarium and the museum complex near the lake create a cultural corridor, and the Water Tower, Brooklyn bridges and historic railway buildings recall important pages of urban history. Among the religious and monumental monuments are the Temple of Medina, the Bahai Temple in Wilmette, the cathedrals and chapels of the university cluster, as well as monuments in the Bronzeville and Union Park areas.
Natural corners and city gardens help to feel a different Chicago: the coast of Michigan with the beaches of North Avenue, Montrose and Kathy Osterman beckons in the summer, and the spacious Lincoln Park and Jackson Park offer quiet alleys and botanical collections. The Chicago Botanical Garden and Lincoln Park Greenhouse are great places to explore the flora at any time of the year, and the numerous promenades and green areas create convenient routes for walking and cycling.
On our site you can see all these attractions on an interactive map, quickly read brief descriptions and reviews, and then build a convenient route to the points of interest. Itineraries can be customized by time, interests and location, marking the main sites and creating a logical sequence for a day walk or multi-day exploration of the city.
