A division of the city into 8 districts, each with a focus on the must-sees, the best experiences and places to eat, have a drink, go out or go shopping.
Thematic selections to enjoy the best experiences in Chicago: activities around Lake Michigan, the best places to taste the city's specialties (like deep dish pizza with its thick crust and melting topping) and to have a drink, architecture (from skyscrapers to beautiful homes), museums (of art and science), the Chicago of the locals (a baseball game, a show in a comedy club...), the best activities to do with children or for free.
Each neighborhood has its own itinerary: the must-see places of the Loop, the upscale Gold Coast neighborhood, a family stroll in Lincoln Park, Pilsen and its murals paying homage to Mexican culture, baseball, bars and LGBTQI+ history in Lake View and Wrigleyville...
