we had an amazing experience in chicago, is a city with a great history, I recomended that make the donuts tour, the ghost tour around chicago, browse around the michigan river. and off course buy the city pass, if you have more than 5 days, go to the modern art museum and wonderful museum, we coudnt go but we heard that its worth it.
I hope that you can felt in love with chicago like we did.
