Chicago is a major city in the state of Illinois in United States. With a population of over three million people, Chicago is the third-most populous city in the United States.
Often referred to as ‘Second City’ or ‘Windy City’, it is a major industrial, financial and educational hub. World-renowned as the global capital of architecture, Chicago attracts millions of tourists each year.
Chicago has a variable climate with weather conditions ranging widely. July is the warmest month, and January, the coldest. Most of the short-lived rain is received during summers with regular thunderstorms; winters are dry.
Founded in 1833, Chicago developed rapidly, becoming one of the most influential cities in the world by 1890. It was heavily supported by land speculators and entrepreneurs during its growth period.

If in Downtown Chicago be sure to visit Oak Steet Beach. Right at the northern end of Michigan Ave with all its High End Shopping called the Magnificant Mile...A Pleasent Surprise with a Tiki Bar Also on the Beach. To View Chicago in all its glory. Make sure you take a Boat ride on Lake Michigan. You can find boat tours from the Chicago River at Michigan Ave On either side of the river. But be sure it is not Just the 1 hour trip or less But the 90 minute on...or it only goes up and down the river not Lake. The Achitecual one also is Only on the River...Do the Lake trip..you won't be ... More disappointed. Also you can Get Dinner Cruise Trips and Tall Mask Sailing Ship rides and others..from Navy Pier. Also a Walk on this tourist suprise is very nice. If you cannot do a Boat Ride Take a taxi or bus to the Planetarium Museum. It has that Iconic Chicago Skyline World Renouned View. shooting you into Lake Michigan but still on land. Also a Ride from Downtown North along Chicagos Gold Coast going past its front yard of Beaches, Harbors and its gold coast highrise living. Museums...Of course Chicago has some of the Best. For a Skycraper top view the John Hancock Center View Is Tops...viewing both Downtown the beaches up the shoreline and Lake Michigan...
Not to be missed:
Lake Michigan boat ride
,
Adler Planetarium for Iconic skyline view
,
Michigan Ave Shopping showcase

I find Chicago most neighborhoods expecially Downtown to be among the Cleanest of Our Large cities,certianly compared to NYC. It has just in a 2 or 3 mile area downtown. Some of the Worlds Great archetecture from each American boom period modern with classics.with Beaches at one end to the north looking like your are in Florida in summer of course.Harbors to the east and Museums respected worldwide. Great Hotels and Restaruants and Clean. Flowers planted showing its green and purhaps the Best shopping street high end in the US. Beaty with modern clean and flowers to walk among.Chicago has blossemed ... More in the last 30yrs and renewed itself. It has become a not just business destination but vacation for the family as travel magazines make light of. It did overcome the period of decay some other cities have not. Of course not all is perfect.
