If you are planning a trip to Chicago, you may need some help to know what parts of the city are must-sees and how you can best see as much as possible in the time that you have. While there are many ways to see this large and bustling city, here are the top three ways to cover as much ground as possible in a short amount of time. These options will let you see a variety of areas of the city and experience much of what the area has to offer.
From the Top
Start your trip at an Observation Platform in Chicago. This will allow you to take in the entire area, including the skyline and the lake. On a clear day, you may be able to see quite far into the more suburban areas. Another good option is the Navy Pier Centennial Wheel, which will also boost you quite high.
From the Water
There are many cruise lines in Chicago that offer tours of the shoreline and that also give you great views of the entire city. You may want to try a sightseeing cruise, a historically themed cruise or even a sailboat tour.
From a Bus
If you are looking for a way to experience more local culture, you may want a hop-on-hop-off bus tour. This will let you stop when you want to shop or grab a bite to eat and that will also explain exactly what you are seeing. You can also do this tour from start to finish without getting off the bus at all.
There are many ways to see the Windy City, but often the best way to start is from an Observation Platform in Chicago.
