Deep pan pizzas, skyscrapers, Al Capone and Route 66 are the first things that come to mind on a holiday in Chicago. You'll find this vibrant city at the southern tip of Lake Michigan, in America’s north-eastern state of Ilinois. Also known as the ‘Windy City’, Chicago is famed to be the birthplace of Chicago Deep Dish Pizza and the skyscraper, which dominate its skyline, and also home to the infamous gangster Al Capone. Parks and beaches, jazz and blues, art and architecture, sightseeing, entertainment and shopping – what more could you want from a city break. For the best view of the city take a trip up to Skydeck Chicago, at the top of the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) and try out the latest attraction The Ledge, a glass-floored platform 1,353ft above the ground! Downtown Chicago, also known as the Loop, is a shopper’s paradise with Michigan Avenue, also called the Magnificent Mile, is lined with the finest shops and small exclusive boutiques. Explore the beautiful lakefront and the famous Navy Pier or enjoy Millennium Park with its art, architecture and many festivals. Chicago is also the starting point of the famous Route 66. Take a trip out to the capital of Illinois, Springfield, the final resting place of Abraham Lincoln. With so much to see and experience in one place, it’s easy to see why a Chicago city break is a must on any USA itinerary.
