Things to do in Chicago

The starting point of Route 66 also seems to be a very good place for a self-driving tour. You can see a lot of Chicago's characteristics in this place. Route 66 is also an interstate highway that spans several major cities in the United States. Many vehicles travel here every day.

I haven’t been here for 4 years, but I still feel a sense of intimacy when I return to Chicago’s Chinatown after the epidemic. There are a few more shops, and there are quite a few tourists at 7pm. Dinner was at Phoenix Restaurant, one of the best options in Chicago. The food tastes very authentic and the human touch is deeply felt.

The museum building is located in the heart of Chicago and in itself is a unique example of avant-garde architecture. Designed by the famous German architect Joseph Paul Kleichues, it combines classical proportions, laconic forms and the functional aesthetics of modernity, which made it possible to perfectly adapt it to the constantly evolving needs of the museum.The permanent exhibition of the museum includes more than a thousand exhibits of modern fine art: paintings, sculptures, photographs, videos and more. Here are the works of prominent representatives of pop art - Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns, kitsch devotee Jeff Koons, sculptor Alexander Calder, known for his intricate wire figures and kinetic "mobiles", as well as the famous master of staged photography Cindy Sherman, which allowed the Chicago Museum to take one step with the leading museums of the world. And since some installations may seem like "art not for everyone" to viewers accustomed to traditional culture, the curators of the exhibitions strive to help visitors understand the artistic context of all the works and complement them with explanatory texts and video materials. Thus, a visit to this museum in any case will be an unforgettable event even for people far from modern art.And you can complete an excursion into the world of avant-garde art with a walk through the sculpture garden, relax in a themed cafe or visit the theater hall, which regularly hosts performances or lectures. In addition, every first Friday of the month, the museum organizes cocktail parties where you can listen to performances by a jazz orchestra and chat with representatives of the art world.

This route basically covers Chicago's iconic attractions, and the hop-on hop-off bus is also very convenient to ride.

I’m not sure the meaning of it but it’s cooler than I anticipated. get there before 10 am and you should be able to get photos with no or very few people in it

Zoo during winter, what were we thinking?! 😂 Not so much to see during the season, nevertheless, i had a good time spending time with my friend and exploring that part of Chicago 😁

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Chicago Cubs. This historic century-old stadium is even more significant.

This scene is very common in early American films. If you come to Chicago theater with a movie perspective, perhaps the image of Capone will pop into your mind.

My husband started playing basketball when he was ten years old and won first place in a city competition. He has a special affection for basketball and the United Center was naturally on his bucket list. Unfortunately, it was not open to the public during that period. He walked around the entrance and returned home disappointed.

One of my favorite places in Chicago! The Riverwalk is very well maintained, and the night view is very beautiful. There are some bars that you can sit down the enjoy the view. It can get crowded during summer (but was closed temporarily due to COVID). On one side is the great view of the art projection on Merchandise Mart, and if you continue walking toward the lake, it can get pretty close to navy pier (still requires some additional walking, but wouldn’t be too far). St Patrick’s day will be very fun to see the green river! maw mandi dulu ah
