Chicago was regarded as the crucible of innovation. It is on the shores of Lake Michigan that America first saw suburbia and skyscrapers, most of which are still standing. Almost everything is less expensive.eating out costs much less, and even high class downtown hotels are comparatively inexpensive.

Visitors of Chicago are bowled over by its superb skyline, ranging from the Sears tower to Michigan Avenue's parklands and museums. Guests can visit the highly ambitious Millennium Park, or shop at Macy's, one of the oldest and grandest department stores in the region. To get a feel of the city, tourists can ride a cruise boat with the view of Chicago River's bridges during sunset, or head out on a sunny summer afternoon at Wrigley Field, and catch a game of baseball in action.
