Itinerary
Known for its Spanish Colonial Revival style, the Wrigley Building features a distinctive white terra cotta facade.
View the Chicago Riverwalk.
It’s fair to say Aqua is a star-maker, with its 2009 completion putting the city’s newest neighborhood, Lakeshore East, on the tip of everyone’s tongue. And though Aqua certainly wasn’t architect Jeanne Gang’s first project, it is the one that put her on Chicagoans' architectural radar.
Designed by Howells & Hood, the Tribune Tower was the result of an international design competition to create "the most beautiful building in the world."
View the exterior of the Art Institute of Chicago's Modern Wing.
View the Hancock Center, now 875 N Michigan Avenue.
Millennium Park is home to the famous Cloud Gate sculpture, known as "The Bean."

About Chicago
Chicago is a Great Lakes city on Lake Michigan, famed for skyscraper architecture, deep-dish pizza, blues and jazz and a long lakefront of parks.
Chicago rebuilt itself after the fire of 1871 and became the cradle of the skyscraper. The Chicago River runs through the Loop, where tall towers rise, and boat tours explain the architecture from the water. Millennium Park's mirrored Cloud Gate sculpture, known as the Bean, and the Art Institute of Chicago, with its Impressionist paintings, are close together. Willis Tower has a glass-floored observation deck.
Top-ranked sights in Chicago: Navy Pier, Wrigley Building, The Magnificent Mile.
