About Chicago
Weather
Known for its financial markets such as the Chicago Board of Trade, its world class museums such as the Art Institute of Chicago, fine dining and world class shopping, and its fierce passion for sports, we hope you will find that Chicago is a sophisticated city full of friendly people.
While our winters may be cold, our summers along the Lake Michigan lakefront are spectacular and we encourage you to take the time to explore all that the city has to offer. Check out a free concert at Millennium Park, visit Navy Pier or check out one of the many festivals going on in Grant Park or simply enjoy a walk around the city, enjoying some of our remarkable architecture.
