"She is novelty; for she is never the Chicago you saw when you passed through the last time." - Mark Twain

Chicago is the land of food, architecture, and as locals are proud to announce “summering” (yes, Chicagoans love their summer’s so much they have turned “summer” into a verb to live by). Chicago is a vibrant city full of an array of both fast paced and leisure activities. Enjoy a day viewing public art displays, wandering the many parks, shopping, dining, listening to Chicago’s famous live blues and jazz musicians, or simply taking in the astounding architecture of the city. Its picturesque skyline sits directly on the waters of Lake Michigan, offering beach lovers an ideal retreat. Foodies will find comfort in Chicago’s deep dish pizzas, piled high hot dogs, or Italian beef sandwiches and history buffs will find their fix at Chicago's many fabulous museums. As the third largest US city, sprawling 234 square miles, Chicago is one of those cities that always has something new to offer even to the most veteran of travelers!
