Departure: Chicago
Built along Lake Michigan and nicknamed the "Windy City," Chicago is renowned for its dramatic architecture, expansive parklands, and thriving cultural and culinary scene. The Home Insurance Building, erected in 1885, is considered the world's first skyscraper and the forerunner of modern skyscrapers, while Willis Tower, the city's tallest structure, delivers an adrenaline-fueled view of the skyline. In Chicago’s Millennium Park, the Cloud Gate, a massive bean-shaped sculpture by Anish Kapoor, provides a meeting point for visitors and residents alike; meanwhile, the world-class Art Institute of Chicago is also a must-see destination. Chicago has numerous other public areas, including the waterfront Navy Pier’s restaurants and shops, and the high-end boutiques on Michigan Avenue’s famed “Magnificent Mile”. Last but certainly not least, Chicago is home to a stellar music scene.
