Chicago happens to be an exciting city beyond the loop, with something to see and do year-round. From the Sears Tower Skydeck to the Magnificent Mile, there are so many options for Chicago visitors. Did you know that Chicago is home to one of the world’s largest fountains, Buckingham Fountain, in Grant Park? Or perhaps you want to spend some time outside on the Navy Pier. You can eat, shop and more while enjoying lakefront views.

With all the sights and destinations available, you might need to take more than one trip to the Windy City. Start planning now!
