Chicago is the USA's third-largest city and the capital of architecture — the world's first skyscrapers were built here, and the Chicago River still mirrors the city's iconic skyline. Millennium Park's iconic Bean sculpture, the Art Institute, Navy Pier, and the Magnificent Mile make Chicago a perfect urban getaway. Blues music, deep-dish pizza, and Michelin-starred restaurants complete the experience.
