Chicago is often called a friendly city, and you’ll agree when you accept the city’s warm invitation to sample such free attractions as Lincoln Park Zoo, home to more than 1,000 mammals, reptiles, and birds. Enjoy the peaceful gardens under glass at Garfield Park Conservatory and Lincoln Park Conservatory, or take in one of the free performances at Navy Pier.  To make sure you don’t miss out on anything the city has to offer, make your very first stop the Chicago Cultural Center, Chicago's Architectural Showplace for the Lively and Visual Arts and the city's official Visitor Center.

 

You’ll find magic in such Chicago attractions as Navy Pier—the Midwest’s top tourist destination—and its boardwalk, 150-foot Ferris wheel, boat and segway tours and countless dining or shopping options. Millennium Park offers dazzling music, art, landscape design and architecture—including the mammoth stainless-steel Cloud Gate sculpture—plus ice skating in the winter, splashing around in the interactive Crown Fountain during summer and alfresco dining from spring to fall. Or check out Shedd Aquarium, which Forbes recently named one of America's best aquariums.

Chicago looks great from every angle, whether you’re exploring the city’s astonishing architecture during a guided tour (on foot or aboard a Chicago River boat, lakeshore cruise or sightseeing bus) or you’re enjoying the birds-eye view from the 103rd floor of the Sears Tower Skydeck and the 94th floor of the Hancock Observatory. And be sure to take a stroll along some of the city’s 29 miles of lakefront paths—just one reason Chicago is one of the world’s most walkable and beautiful cities.
