Chicago Life

Life in Chicago

Chicago is a great place to live, work, and play. It is world-renowned for its Magnificent Mile shopping, its top-class restaurants, and of course, its stunning skyline.  Our exceptional galleries and museums include the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Science and Industry, and the Field Museum. Explore the fabulous Millennium Park in the heart of the city, where the traditions of architecture, nature and the arts combine to form an urban gathering place of uncommon beauty.

Take a look at Chicago's diverse and energetic neighborhoods, or spend a lazy summer afternoon on the beaches along Lake Michigan.  Chicago summers feature the superb food fest known as Taste of Chicago, concerts in Grant Park, and movies under the stars. Watch the Cubs and White Sox, or for a different kind of fireworks, the gala Fourth of July show on the Lakefront.  When it gets cold around the holidays, the majestically-lit Michigan Avenue shopping district will warm your spirit. And the Bears, Bulls, and Blackhawks are nearby fall-winter sporting attractions. Check these links to find out more things to do, places to eat, and how to get there.
