CHICAGO TRIP SUMMER 2018

8/4/2018

0 Comments

 
Back to the Windy City!

I always manage to learn something new every time I go outside of my hometown, especially when I visit Chicago.

Summer 2018 was my third time visiting the windy city, but my first train ride through Amtrak. The train ride was great and I would definitely do it again.

Since I’ve been to Chicago twice before, I decided to pick a hotel that was in the center of it all and close to a lot of places I wanted to visit. In case you want to stay in the center of it all, I recommend checking out the Central Loop Hotel. It’s blocks away from Union Station, Millennium Park and plenty of restaurants nearby.
​
Here’s a list of places I decided to check out during my week long stay:
  1. Millennium Park, home of The Cloudgate, aka The Bean
  2. Navy Pier
  3. Art Institute of Chicago
  4. Shield Aquarium
  5. The Field Museum
  6. Willis Tower/Sears Tower
  7. Wintrest Arena for WNBA Chicago Sky v. Los Angeles Sparks
  8. Northwestern University
​
If you are in Chicago for a few days and is looking to visit most (or all) of the major Chicago attractions like the Art Institute of Chicago, Shield Aquarium and Willis/Sears Tower, I recommend purchasing the CityPASS so you can get access to those places for one price and save some money.
