A brief introduction to Chicago

A vibrant metropolis of world class architecture, fascinating museums, and beautiful lake-side beaches, the “Windy City” offers memorable experiences to everyone who visits.

We recommend starting your trip by taking in Chicago’s remarkable skyline, which has a distinctive and renowned architectural flair. Gaze up at towering skyscrapers, such as Willis Tower and St. Regis Chicago, and visit charming chateauesque buildings like the William W. Kimball House.

Nestled in the city centre between the city’s soaring skyscrapers, you can find The Loop - Chicago’s lively entertainment hub. Here, you’ll find eateries, shops, and theatres alongside the pride of the city - Millennium Park. This renowned park is home to the iconic Cloud Gate sculpture and the many treasures of the Art Institute of Chicago. About a 10-minute walk away is the annual festivals and events locale of Grant Park, with Buckingham Fountain being its crowning centrepiece. Chicago also boasts 24 scenic beaches, including North Avenue Beach, which is considered the premier destination to enjoy a day of fun in the sun.
