Tours and Attractions

 Chicago
may still be stereotyped as the home
of sausage-loving, overweight guys who
babble on endlessly about "da Bears" or "da
Cubs," but in reality the city offers
some of the most sophisticated cultural
and entertainment options in the country.
You'll have trouble fitting in all of
Chicago's museums, which offer everything
from action (the virtual-reality visit
to the Milky Way galaxy at the Adler
Planetarium) to quiet contemplation (the
Impressionist masterpieces at the Art
Institute of Chicago). Gape at Sue, the
biggest T-rex fossil ever discovered,
at the Field Museum of Natural History,
or be entranced by the colorful world
of the Butterfly Haven at the Peggy Notebaert
Nature Museum. Stroll through picture-postcard
Lincoln Park Zoo on the Near North Side,
and then enjoy the view from the top
of the Ferris wheel on historic Navy
Pier.
Best of all for visitors, the majority
of the places you'll want to visit are
in or near downtown, making it easy to
plan your day and get from place to place.
And because this is a town with a thriving
tourist economy, you'll have plenty of
visitor-friendly options: walking tours
of famous architecture; boat cruises on
Lake Michigan; even bus tours of notorious
gangster sites. If you're lucky enough
to visit when the weather's nice, you can
join the locals at our parks and the beaches
along Lake Michigan.
Extensive
public transportation makes it simple
to reach almost every tourist
destination, but some of your best memories
of Chicago may come from simply strolling
the sidewalks. Chicago's neighborhoods
each have their own distinct style and
look, and you'll have a more memorable
experience if you don't limit yourself
solely to the prime tourist spots. And
if you really want to talk about da Bears
or da Cubs, chances are you'll find someone
more than happy to join in...
