Que faire à Chicago

Chicago's Absolute Essentials

Chicago’s core identity is defined by architectural landmarks like the 1921 Chicago Theatre, the massive Merchandise Mart, and the Beaux-Arts Union Station. The city’s scientific heritage is represented by the Shedd Aquarium’s 32,000 animals and the Adler Planetarium. Public art, including Marc Chagall’s Four Seasons mosaic and the untitled Picasso sculpture, sits alongside historic sports venues like Wrigley Field. This collection also features the centennial Navy Pier and the city's signature deep-dish pizza at Lou Malnati’s, highlighting the city's distinct blend of waterfront recreation, history, and culture.
