Chicago! It is one of the greatest cities you can visit. There is just so much to do, places to go and experiences to be had! From the Architectural River Cruise (which is a must!), to the Shedd Aquarium, the Brookfield Zoo, Navy Pier, the world class Art Institute of Chicago, historic Wrigley Field, Chicago Bears games at Soldier Field, discovering the beauty of Chicago's new "crown jewel" - the 25 acre Millennium Park, live theater, catching a performance of the world-class Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Lollapalooza, feasting at the city's largest outdoor fest- The Taste of Chicago (late June through the first week of July) to viewing the city from the Hancock Observatory or the infamous Sears Tower - Chicago is simply fantastic!

Go out at night to one of the many blues bars or to eat at one of many restaurants from all parts of the world; and don't forget the traditional Chicago Deep Dish Pizza- there is something for everyone and for every budget.

Take advantage of the public transportation system that will get you from the airports to downtown Chicago in less than an hour for approximately $2.00 US.

Chicago has everything for the tourist and local alike; high culture, hundreds of live music acts nightly, jazz, blues, world-class shopping, vibrant university campuses, ethnic neighborhoods to discover, kayaking and canoeing in the Chicago River, deep sea fishing in Lake Michigan, music festivals, air shows, 33 public beaches, 552 parks and much more!!
