Chicago is a vibrant metropolis that seamlessly blends iconic architecture, world-class museums, and a rich cultural tapestry. From the breathtaking views of the city skyline along Lake Michigan to the renowned Field Museum, the Windy City offers a diverse range of experiences. Chicago's distinct character, friendly locals, and a plethora of entertainment options make it a must-visit destination for those seeking an unforgettable urban adventure. I explored Adler Planetarium and Field Museum in the rain and strolled around Navy Pier and Millennium Park on a chilly day. Nutcracker at Civic Opera House was an unfogettable experience during the holiday season. (90 photos)
