Vacation in Chicago!
What You Need to Know...



You Only Have A Few Days In
Chicago...
Where do you START??

Wow! What a city! You’re coming here on a business trip or on vacation and you want to be sure you don’t miss the biggest attractions this city has to offer. You did your homework. You studied all the maps, made a list of all the great restaurants, booked some tickets to a first class play and collected a stack of research on the major museums, galleries and numerous other world-class attractions.
You did your homework but when you returned home from your trip, one of your friends says “Oh, you went to Chicago. What did you think of _____________? Didn’t you just LOVE it?”
"WHAT? Why didn’t someone mention that to me? I didn’t even know they had that or you could do that in Chicago!”

This city is a literal magnet for tourists. Thirty-three million foreign and domestic visitors came to the city with 'Big Shoulders' in 2005. Many of the Travel magazines pick it as one of the top cities in the world to visit. They come by the millions because of its reputation as one of the global architectural capitals, the luxury shopping along the Magnificent Mile, thousands of restaurants offering food from every corner of the earth, the museums, and the Broadway plays. The city is also a convention hub of the highest order, being the United States’ third largest city for conventions behind only Las Vegas and Orlando.
