Chicago and related destinations

Towering skyscrapers create a skyline that seems to rise straight from Lake Michigan's blue waters. The Art Institute houses masterpieces while Millennium Park's reflective 'Bean' sculpture distorts the city in delightful ways. Navy Pier offers carnival-like fun with a giant Ferris wheel providing spectacular views. Wrigley Field remains gloriously old-school, where ivy-covered walls and hand-turned scoreboards transport baseball fans to another era. Deep-dish pizza at local institutions sparks fierce debates about whose crust reigns supreme. The Chicago River's architecture boat tours reveal how the city rebuilt itself after the Great Fire. Field Museum's Sue, the world's most complete T-Rex, stares down visitors with 65-million-year-old intensity.
