DISCOVER CHICAGO!

No matter what floats your boat – sports, arts and culture, shopping or food and drink – Chicago won’t let you (or your spouse) down! Here are some ideas to get you started

MUSIC & NIGHTLIFE

Chicago knows how to keep the party going – it is the birthplace of house music and Chicago-style jazz, after all. Experience the unforgettable energy of the music and nightlife scene, from the legendary House of Blues to late night dance clubs to famous comedy clubs, and more!

ATTRACTION

From cruising down the river to snapping a photo of The Bean, Chicago has some of the most iconic attractions. Get an unlimited Ride Pass for the ‘L’ train, to save money, avoid ticket lines, and take in the local sights.

RESTAURANTS

Get a taste of Chicago’s vibrant food scene offering as diverse a selection as the city itself. Dig into a Chicago-style hot dog, an avant-garde tasting menu, or a dim sum spread in Chinatown.

SPORTS

Home to the Chicago White Sox, Blackhawks and Bulls, there is something for every sports fan. Watch a game at the famous Wrigley Field or the United Center, or at one of the many sports bars across the city.

ARTS & CULTURE

From major exhibits to neighbourhood cultural attractions, there’s a whole world to explore at Chicago’s renowned museums, galleries, and historic places.
