Chi-Town offers a whole host of popular entertainment options from the Oprah Winfrey show to the famous Second City comedy club and, of course, boasts world-renowned architecture, museums, and cuisine as well. The beating heart of Chicago is The Magnificent Mile, where you'll find everything from four-star hotels and department stores to boutiques and cafes. Visitors can't come to Chicago without making a pilgrimage to the Skydeck at the top of the Sears Tower, once the world's tallest skyscraper. Another staple of any visit to the Windy City is a taste of its famous deep-dish pizza, or a Chicago-Style hot dog. With compelling cuisine, a variety of theatrical venues, and eye-catching architecture, you can’t miss a trip to the Windy City.
