Chicago, IL
When visiting Chicago, head for the downtown district, and you’ll be in “The Loop.” It’s more than an urban spread of cloud-high skyscrapers and cultural recreation centers. You’ll be surprised by what you find. The downtown part of Chicago is enormous and has a little bit of everything.
This includes government centers, tourist attractions, high-end restaurants, museums, dive bars, theaters, and high-rises. The Chicago River runs through this downtown, and Lake Michigan forms the border of the city. These waterways provide recreation and beauty to an otherwise landlocked city.
Top places to visit downtown include Grant Park, Millennium Park, Navy Pier, Oak Street Beach, and the Lakefront Trail. While in the city, you may think you’re in a coastal resort because there are numerous beaches within minutes of the Loop. Downtown Chicago is really a suburb of the city that has it all!
