Museum
 
Art Institute of Chicago
This famous art museum is located in the north end of Grant Park, also home to many other great museums. The large collection features various art and artifacts from different eras and areas; the works by French Impressionists and Post-impressionists are particularly well known.
 
Sears Tower
The tallest building in the United States and formerly the world has a lighting-fast elevator that takes you up to the observation deck on the 103rd floor, where you get amazing views of the city and many photo opportunities. Not for the weak at heart, this is pretty scary if you aren’t that fond of heights.
 
The Old Water Tower
This small landmark is one of the few structures that survived the great fire. On the opposite side of Michigan Avenue there is a shopping mall (what else?) called Water Tower Place.
 
Other
 
Magnificent Mile
This stretch of Michigan Avenue has many upscale shops, fine restaurant, high-end hotels and office buildings. If you want to spend some money, you will have a lot of fun doing it here.
