Chicago Tours, Vacations & Travel Packages

  • Chicago is renowned for it's bold architecture and museums

Chicago is located in northeastern Illinois on the southwestern shores of freshwater Lake Michigan. The fourth-largest city in the United States, Chicago is one of the country’s most architecturally striking and culturally dynamic urban centres. The city is home to incredible museums and world-famous art galleries, delightful eateries, green parks, a stunning waterfront, and some of the world’s tallest buildings. Activities and attractions include the Magnificent Mile shopping district, Millennium Park, a Chicago River architecture boat tour, the impressive Art Institute of Chicago, and the John Hancock Tower 360-degree observation deck on the dizzying 94th floor.

Music fans flock to the city’s renowned jazz and blues scene. Sports fans come for the major sports venues, including Wrigley Field Major League Baseball stadium. The diverse music scene delivers an electrifying variety of genres, including blues, soul, and jazz, and the lively city boasts a thriving theatre, concert tour, and world-renowned performing arts scene.

Chicago is also surprisingly green, offering strolls along the Chicago Riverwalk, through the beautiful lakefront parks along Michigan Avenue, or around Museum Campus, a 57-acre park encompassing five of the city's most notable attractions, including the Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, and the Field Museum of Natural History. An expert tour guide can help navigate the city’s whirlwind of attractions and is often a local who has plenty of tales about Chicago life together with an in-depth knowledge of its character.

Dining options in the bustling city’s thousands of restaurants include everything from Chicago-style hot dogs to deep-dish pizza to Maxwell Street Polish sausages to fine dining at one of 22 Michelin-starred restaurants.
