The skyline of Chicago, IL
Chicago Imagine an evening walk along North Avenue Beach as the lights of Chicago's famous skyline begin glittering to life. This spot is one of the most romantic places in the country to take a stroll. With the majesty of the Sears Tower looming in the foreground, and a cooling breeze coming in off of the bay, snuggle close together and take it all in. This is Chicago.

As the third largest city in the United States, Chicago travel presents one stellar place to visit. The city is an action packed extravaganza of places to see and things to do, but it can very difficult to find the time to take advantage of everything this place has to offer. Chicago has undergone one of the most remarkable transformations in American history. It’s no longer a haven for gun-toting mobsters, seedy politicians and smog producing factories. The new Chicago is a refined showcase on the American landscape. The Windy City is one of the leading architectural centers in the world and thanks to a host of museums and attractions including famous Chicago theater, it's also a vibrant tourist destination.

Saw Riot Fest - a bunch of punk bands played small clubs. My favorite was the Dead Milkmen at Congress Theatre and Metro Theatre. Also liked Riverboat Gamblers, Teen Idols, and Teenage Bottlerocket. The people of Chicago are very friendly, and Walking around Millenium Park is a must. I stayed at a hotel that had a free shuttle to the airport and took the train to town from there. The train runs all night, most do I think. Hotels in the city were too much money for me. I want to go back next year... More

Had an awesome time in Chicago/Indiana. Enjoyed some really good Puerto Rican/Cuban restaurants and the magnificent nightlife they are so famous for. Got my Salsa dancing on at Tumbao's and it was off the chain! Wish I had had more time to spend in Chicago. Can't for the casinos in Indiana...fun, fun, fun...... More
