Millennium Park

If life begins at the end of your comfort zone, then this place is certainly not the one for beginning your life.

Chicago’s Oasis. Natural retreat. The place for Chicago's annual Christmas tree lighting and mecca for public art. Arguably the most important project of Chicago in the 20^th century.

The cost of the project planning and its construction reached 475 million dollars. What’s so special about it? Let’s see: the open-air theater Jay Pritzker Pavilion, the bean-shaped Cloud Gate on an AT&T Plaza, singing Crown Fountain, Lurie Garden, pedestrian bridge The Nichols Bridgeway, Boing Gallery, a modern art exhibition sponsored by the President…

This Park is a city in a city, which may keep you busy for the whole millennium.

The Art Institute of Chicago

Best Art Museum in Chicago, according to us. (And by the way, #1 thing to do in Chicago, according to TripAdvisor)

It is one of the most impressive spots for art lovers. The Museum represents not only the collection of impressionists and postimpressionists, but also showpieces of history of human culture, exhibits of the culture of Ancient Egypt and Greece, as well as Japan, China, India and some of the African ethnicities.

Here’s some basic math: AIG has over 300,000 works, we have about 30 minutes. No rush. Encyclopedia of art in half an hour? No big deal!

Willis Tower

In the city of skyscrapers, you’re spoilt for choice.

Dramatic views of Chicago will be burnt into your memory after Skydeck in Willis Tower. What is Willis Tower?

108-stories. 442 m (1451 ft) high. The second-tallest building in the United States and the 13th-tallest in the world. Should we mention it is the tallest skyscraper in Chicago? Well, we just did.

Picture-perfect city views are waiting for you on the 103^rd floor. It’s time to test your nerves. 60 seconds and you are 412 meters (1353 ft) above the ground. Not too bad, huh?

The legendary Skydeck features super-strong glassy balconies which will make it an unforgettable experience for you. Unforgettable.
