Chicago: The Windy City
With its world-class architecture, gardens and museums, Chicago is the place to be. Catch stunning views of the skyline from the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) and explore the Windy City’s many attractions up close. A photo stop at Millennium Park’s Cloud Gate sculpture (affectionately known as “The Bean”) is a must!
