Things To Do
Millennium Park
Located in the heart of downtown, Millennium Park is home to Chicago’s most iconic landmark, Cloud Gate — better known as “The Bean.” Take a photo in its mirrored reflection, stroll through the gardens, and enjoy stunning views of the skyline and Lake Michigan.
The 606
Use the trail as a starting point to explore the popular Wicker Park, Bucktown, Logan Square, and Humboldt Park neighborhoods.
Chinatown
Many people head to Chinatown for its wealth of excellent restaurants, but the neighborhood offers much more than incredible food. You can spend half a day exploring the various shops in Chinatown Square or learning about Chinese history and culture at one of the neighborhood's museums. The area is also home to one of the city’s most beautiful parks, which provides skyline views and is accessible by water taxi. And if you're lucky, you might even find a parade or celebration taking place during your visit. So don’t come solely for the dim sum (even though it's pretty amazing as well), here are some of the best things to do in Chinatown.
Wrigley Field
Wrigley Field, also called “The Friendly Confines,” is famous for its ivy-covered outfield walls, manual scoreboard, and lively atmosphere. It’s also home to the Chicago Cubs, famous for their 108-year journey from lovable losers to 2016 World Series Champions. The area around the stadium is known as Wrigleyville, and it’s bursting at the seams with sports bars, souvenir stalls, and die-hard Cubs fans. Walk up and down Clark Street to stop into the area’s many bars and restaurants usually filled with locals, even when it’s not baseball season.
