World Congress Capital

This city has long been a destination for many people from around the world. Known as the "city of parks" and "world congress capital," it boasts some of the world's leading museums, extensive shopping opportunities, and vibrant nightlife.

The world's first skyscraper was built here in 1885 and was designed by William Le Baron Jenney. While the Home Insurance Building no longer stands, the city is home to three of the world's ten tallest buildings, including the famous Willis Tower, opened in 1974. The Chicago Cultural Center, completed in 1897 in Beaux Arts style, and the Adler & Sullivan building from 1889, offer rich architectural history. Knowledgeable guides provide insight through organized walking and bus tours, with boat tours on the Chicago River also available on this theme.

Chicago's shopping scene began on State Street, which houses the renowned Macy's and other famous department stores. A "shopping fest" includes the "Magnificent Mile," along Michigan Avenue from Oak Street to the Chicago River. You'll find another Macy's, Neiman Marcus, Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdales, and hundreds of other stores offering goods from around the world. Popular shopping destinations include North Bridge, Water Tower Place, 900 North Michigan Avenue Shops, and Navy Pier.
