Chicago Highlights

Chicago 3 nights

Day 1 Chicago: On arrival make your way to your hotel.

Day 2 Chicago: At leisure to explore as you choose. You may be happy to simply amble and see what you come across along the way. If you don’t want to miss any of the major attractions, a Chicago CityPass is included which gives you access to a selection of the city’s most famous sights including Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum and Skydeck Chicago (see page 40 for further details). If the weather’s fair, there’s no better place to spend some downtime than on one of the sandy beaches bordering Lake Michigan or, alternatively there’s popular Millennium Park.

Day 3 Chicago: The morning is yours to take in more of the city sights or, if you fancy some retail therapy the shops of Michigan Avenue won’t disappoint. This afternoon, an included tour allows you to eat your way around the River North neighbourhood which is the original Chicago foodie destination. You’ll sample a Chicago-style hot dog, some renowned Chicago deep-dish pizza, a classic Chicago sandwich: Italian beef, before visiting one of the city’s oldest establishments for dessert.

Day 4 Chicago: Why not enjoy some last minute shopping along the Magnificent Mile, or head to Chicago’s Loop where you can browse around Macy’s on State Street. Alternatively, explore the fascinating exhibits of one of the many city museums, or perhaps take a stroll around Lincoln Park Zoo before you return to the airport for your onward journey. Alternatively, why not extend your stay and visit the Great Lakes region?
