Here, you can experience outdoor adventures along our 26 miles of lakefront, our scenic Riverwalk, or in our many beautiful parks throughout the city. You can take in the stunning beauty of our world-renowned architecture, or you can embark on a culinary tour of the globe by dining at restaurants across our wonderfully diverse neighborhoods. You can enjoy cultural experiences like theatre, dance, live music, and festivals, or visit some of our more than 60 museums. You can plan a stay at world-class hotels with outstanding amenities or find a quiet neighborhood to make your home base as you explore at your own pace. Most importantly, when you come to Chicago, you should feel at home in our accessible and inclusive city. This is why we were named Best Big City in the U.S. by readers of Condé Nast Traveler for an unprecedented seventh year in a row in 2023! We are also proud of the history and legacy of our city, of the role we have played as the regional economic engine of the Midwest for nearly two centuries, and of the incredible institutions that choose to make Chicago their home. But most of all, we Chicagoans have pride in one another. Ours is a city for dreamers, innovators, and adventurers in search of a place that exceeds their imagination. It is a city not easily described, but better experienced. We hope you will use this Visitors Guide as a tool to help you plan your own adventures, discover new experiences, and create lifelong memories. On behalf of the entire hospitality and tourism industry, welcome to Chicago!
