About the destination: Chicago, once a small trading post on Lake Michigan, has grown into one of the most famous cities in the country.

Follow "The Loop," the city's main business district, and marvel at its array of skyscrapers, consulates, and universities. There's plenty of shopping and fine dining to be had in this area. If you've worn yourself out in the city centre, take it easy at the Riverwalk, a pedestrian path along the Chicago River, or visit the many museums and parks the city has to offer.
