Pics I took In Chicago

Destination List

✈️ Chicago

✨ Pros: views, sunny summer day, biked throughout the city

👀 Cons: tourist trap restaurants on the river

🗺️ Tips: check out field museum and aquarium in Grant Park, get a hot dog and sit for a view

2025/7/14 Edited to

... Read moreChicago is a vibrant city known for its stunning lakefront views, rich cultural institutions, and diverse culinary scene. During summer, the city comes alive with sunny weather perfect for exploring on bike, especially through areas like Grant Park where you can visit iconic spots such as the Field Museum and the John G. Shedd Aquarium. These attractions offer educational and engaging experiences for all ages, showcasing natural history and aquatic life. For a true Chicago experience, try the city's famous hot dogs from local vendors and enjoy them while taking in the picturesque views of Lake Michigan. Although some restaurants near the river cater mainly to tourists and may be overpriced, exploring local neighborhoods offers authentic dining options with deep-rooted Chicago flavors. Additionally, taking a Wendella boat tour provides a unique perspective on the city's architectural marvels along the Chicago River, complementing the biking experience. Planning ahead and prioritizing these landmarks will help you avoid common tourist pitfalls and make the most of your visit to this dynamic city.

875 North Michigan Avenue Here is the John Hancock Center where you can experience the 360 Chicago tilt + view. I thought it was more lowkey but similar to the Willis tower. Basically you’ll go into a concave area of the tower and tilt to see the entire city. If you’re afraid of heights but wan
