1Chicago, Illinois

Known as the “Windy City,” Chicago is famous for its architecture, deep-dish pizza, and vibrant cultural scene. The city’s skyline is one of the most impressive in the country, and visitors can take in panoramic views from the Willis Tower’s Skydeck or the 360 Chicago Observation Deck at the John Hancock Center.

Millennium Park, home to the iconic Cloud Gate sculpture (commonly known as “The Bean”), is a must-visit, as are the city’s world-class museums like the Art Institute of Chicago. A stroll along Navy Pier or a boat ride on the Chicago River is a great way to see the city’s famous architecture up close.
