Experience Chicago

By: Mathilda Riesland

Chicago is coy about its own greatness. This huge city should by no means be runner up to New York. It has an appeal all of its own and despite its large size it remains friendly and welcoming.

This Midwestern city on the banks of beautiful Lake Michigan is home to blues, skyscrapers and good food. The city's has also played a starring role in American history from gangsters to railroads and architecture to sport. This colourful history and diverse ethnic mix make Chicago one of America's greatest cities.

Chicago's skyline is the tallest in the world with three out of five of America's tallest skyscrapers. The most famous is the Sears Tower which is one of the tallest in the world at 1451 ft. The best place to admire this view is from the other side of Lake Michigan by the Adler Planetarium.

But the awesome architecture doesn't just stop with the skyscrapers. The award-winning Millennium Park, on Michigan Avenue has an interesting selection of design features from the state-of-the-art outdoor concert venue to the futuristic-looking Cloud Gate, so your camera will be working overtime.

Chicago is sure to satiate even the hungriest cultural appetites. It has the Art Institute of Chicago boasting a fine collection of art including a well-rounded selection of Impressionism and the Field Museum of Natural History, specialising in interactive exhibits so ideal for children.

The most popular attraction in Chi-town is the Museum of Science and Industry. This museum is fitting in a city that has such importance as a centre of industry and transport and it does it without being dry and boring.

All price ranges and cuisine preferences are catered for in Chicago but over the years it has quietly been cultivating a reputation as the fine-dining capital of the US. However, it also serves up some of the best hot dogs in the US as well as inventing the deep-pan pizza in the 1940s.

The blues has been played for generations in Chicago and has wide and varied following. Willie Dixon's Blues Heaven Foundation is a great place to hear the more traditional sound, but the scene thrives all across the city, with modern takes on this great classic. If you come in June, you'll be here for the annual Blues Festival. This huge event features over 70 artists from across the globe and the whole city is left buzzing.
