How to get there

Day 1

Arrival in Chicago

Crown Fountain de Jaume Plensa, Millennium Park.

Flights generally arrive late in the afternoon. Walk around the hotel, no precise visit, just a first contact with the city, and a good night to recover from time lag.

Discovery of the Loop

Le Cloud Gate dans Millennium Park.

Steps: Chicago

There is nothing like climbing to the 94th floor of the Hancock Tower in the Gold Coast district to discover the city. Enjoy a splendid view of the downtown skyline and get a feel for the different neighborhoods. Walk on Michigan Avenue, called the "Magnificent Mile", with its superb buildings(Tribune Tower, Wrigley Building, shopping malls...), then walk down to the Loop district for a stroll in the skyscraper forest. Different visits possible: Chicago Temple, Chicago Board of Trade, or a simple walking tour. Lunch at Atwood, a superb restaurant in the Burnham Hotel. In the afternoon, guided tour of the Loop and its architecture organized by the ArchiCenter, Chicago's leading architectural center. In the evening, walk and dinner in Millennium Park, Chicago's famous park, and its famous bean-shaped mirror by Anish Kapoor.

If you still feel like discovering art work, you can also visit the Museum of Contemporary Art, next to Michigan Avenue, the opportunity to take a tour on the Mag Mile.
