You’ll be blown away by the attractions on offer in Chicago. The Windy City has been compared to a compact version of New York, and boasts both meltingly hot summers as well as freezing winters. Visit in the warmer months and you’ll be able to cool off by the shores of Lake Michigan, while enjoying a Chicago-style hotdog or deep-dish pizza. A walk through the city centre may result in mild neck ache, as the stretch plays host to some of the tallest buildings in the United States – the Willis Tower, the Wrigley Building, the Tribune Tower, and many more, can all be found here. Chicago also boasts a number of famous citizens, such as current US First Lady Michelle Obama. Go for a stroll through the Hyde Park neighbourhood and see if you can spot her and President Obama’s former residence.
Play
Navy Pier – Keep the whole family happy at this all-in-one attraction. You’ve got restaurants, shops, rides, and even an IMAX theatre on site, and it’s all topped off with a round of fireworks at night. The artistically inclined may enjoy a visit to the Smith Museum of Stained Glass, or if your kids are behaving like bulls in a china shop, why not drop them off at the Children’s Museum? Spend some time outside, enjoying the old-fashioned rides – there’s a 150 foot tall Ferris wheel, a whimsical carousel, and a towering Giant Swing. You can also go for a sightseeing cruise along Lake Michigan, splash out at the shops, or treat yourself to tasty Chicago hotdogs at the food court.
Eat
Lou Malnati’s (River North) – Pop into this old-style pizza shop for a taste of authentic Chicago-style pizza pie. Lou Malnati learned to make pizzas from his father Rudy, one of the inventors of the deep-dish pizza. These days, the company has expanded into a series of franchises but this restaurant still retains a cosy, old-fashioned feel. Pizzas here are served two ways - Chicago deep-dish style, or with a thin crust. Fans recommend the ‘Lou’, named after the chain’s founder. You’ll get a heaping great plateful of juicy fresh spinach, mushrooms and tomatoes, all buried under a spicy, savoury mix of mozzarella, Romano and cheddar.
Stay
Trump International Hotel and Tower – His hair may look cheap but at least his hotel isn’t. Donald Trump’s hotel is a block away from the Magnificent Mile, and more than measures up to the buildings on that stretch – it is currently the second tallest building in the US. The prices may be sky-high, but you’ll be paying for wonderful service and some of the most luxurious rooms around. The rooms have huge windows that allow wonderful views over the city or river. The hotel will also provide you with your very own attaché, to assist you with your visit, and even do your shopping for you. You can also arrange for spa treatments and yoga sessions in your room, and you’ll have a mini-bar stocked to your personal preferences. Room rates start at about £300.
