While not as appreciated as its larger rival, New York City, the windy metropolis at the foot of Lake Michigan has plenty of stunning architecture to offer. What makes these wonders such a treat to behold is that they are little-known outside of Chicago’s midwestern neighborhood.
TravelViewing these marvels is, for many people, an arc of discovery, not unlike being an explorer in a new world. Even those who have never been to the Empire State Building, by way of contrast, still know what it looks like due to its frequent appearances in the media. Ask someone not from the Midwest to name a well-known Chicago building, and you will probably get a shrug in response.
Because of the way the city is laid out, Chicago siteseeing is blessed to have a great way to view all these wonderful structures without sitting in traffic. You can take a cruise across the lakefront and up the river. All along the way, museum-grade architectural experts will point out the features and history that make each structure unique and noteworthy.
Instead of suffering through an endurance run in inner-city traffic, you have the option of taking a relaxing and educational trip. Spend an afternoon in one of the world’s great cities. Learn what makes the city great and skip the diesel fumes of riding around in a bus. What could be better than that?
