Chicago is home to some of the world’s most spectacular buildings. The best architects on the planet have left their mark here; from Frank Lloyd Wright to Frank Gehry.
It’s an easy city to navigate, with canals weaving through the centre.
Take an architecture tour on the water for a potted history. Impressive buildings include the Tribune Tower. Step out onto The Ledge, a glass platform on the Skydeck at Willis Tower. There’s one at the 360 Chicago Observation Deck too.
Back at ground level, don’t miss the much-loved artwork Cloud Gate, otherwise known as The Bean, a reflective sculpture by Anish Kapoor in Millennium Park. For iconic Chicago activities visitors should try the city’s famous deep-dish pizza before watching a Cubs game at Wrigley Field, one of the oldest baseball stadiums in the US.
