Rating things we did in Chicago 🏙️

Overall is Chicago worth the hype? My answer is yes!! This city has so much to offer! Exploring the city streets was so much fun because there is tons to see! The city felt clean to me compared to other places and I highly recommend the Chicago Riverwalk! One place that I think is slightly over hyped is the Doughnut Vault — while it was good I just didn’t think it was great. We went a little later in the morning so it wasn’t as fresh, maybe if we visited earlier it would’ve been better! 360 CHICAGO was probably my favorite place we went. The views of the city from this scenic activity are absolutely unmatched! Lastly, while the public transportation here was reliable, it didn’t always feel the safest in my opinion — especially at night. But I think that could be true for most cities! Overall Chicago was incredible and I would definitely go back!

Chicago
2025/3/29 Edited to

... Read moreChicago is a city brimming with culture, art, and stunning architecture. Visitors can stroll along the Chicago Riverwalk, which offers picturesque views and various dining options. Don't miss iconic landmarks like the Willis Tower and Millennium Park, where the famous Cloud Gate sculpture awaits. If you're a foodie, Chicago's diverse culinary scene is a treat. While Doughnut Vault is popular, many locals suggest trying other bakeries for fresher options. The city’s reputation for deep-dish pizza is well-deserved, with places like Giordano's and Lou Malnati's garnering rave reviews. However, safety can be a concern, particularly for public transport at night. Overall, Chicago promises a blend of excitement and adventure for every traveler. Plan your itinerary wisely and immerse yourself in this incredible city!
