About Chicago
Visiting Chicago in May is seeing this world-class
city at its best. Chicago is a city of natural and man-made wonders,
where you will find miles of beautiful lakefront parks and beaches,
sprawling neighborhoods of every ethnic culture and the world's tallest
skyscrapers forming an awe-inspiring skyline.
Discover Chicago's unrivaled gallery of outdoor
sculptures and renowned museums including the Art Institute, the Museum
of Science and Industry, and the Field Museum of Natural History. Visit
the Shedd Aquarium and the Adler Planetarium. Experience the city's
unique architecture and history by land or water, or combine the two by
visiting Navy Pier. Stroll along the Magnificent Mile - a shopper's
paradise featuring world-class shopping, restaurants and other sites.
And State Street, "that great street," offers outstanding
shopping, dining and sightseeing of its own.
Chicago's famous cuisine is as diverse as the city
itself. Ethnic restaurants abound, serving the native food of every
country imaginable. But don't forget the food Chicago claims as its
own, including thick prime steaks, Chicago-style hot dogs and
especially Chicago-style deep dish pizza. For more information about
Chicago and a calendar of events, visit the City of Chicago Tourism
website.
