Chicago

About Chicago

Located on the banks of the vast Lake Michigan in Illinois, the sophisticated city of Chicago is one of the largest and most vibrant cities in the entire U.S., famous for soaring skyscrapers and a wonderful heritage of sports, industry, and effervescence.

Known as the ‘Windy City’ and home to the skyscraper, the city is instantaneously identifiable for its high-end culinary delights, stunning architecture, wonderful green parks, and numerous shopping opportunities; it is a truly spectacular city to visit.

Freezing in the winter and hot in the summer, the ‘Windy City’ doesn’t do things by halves. We recommend visiting either during the Spring or the Autumn months. The temperatures are cooler than the summer months however, they are still mostly warm and dry (in the mid 20 degrees celsius) and perfect for exploration. This is also when the city comes to life with festivals and the tourist crowds are more manageable.
