The art museum in Chicago is often hailed as one of the nation’s best. But many of the city’s biggest works of art are along the river.
The buildings of Chicago tell a story that spans the city’s history – from squat warehouses that once held goods for mail-order catalogs, to gleaming skyscrapers made of glass.
The Chicago Architecture Tour has multiple departures each day from a dock on the south bank of the river, just beneath the Michigan Avenue bridge. The Chicago Architecture Foundation also offers a variety of walking and bus tours.
This is one of many things to do in Chicago, and we're betting a lot of you have been, and have your own favorite things. Tell us what they are in the comments below.
