Welcome to Chicago!

Welcome to Chicago The city that gave us achievements of modern civilization such as pinball machines, rollers and house music.

The city that is less than 200 years old and after a devastating fire in 1871. that destroyed a good part, Chicago got younger but failed to develop into one of the major world cities.

The first thing I thought about Chicago is that it is magnificent. Indeed, it seems to me that if you are looking to find the word that best describes it, it would be just that one.

I would say that Chicago served as the right course where architects can realize their ideas of ​​skyscrapers and modern buildings.

The downtown of Chicago is called The Loop, it was named so because of the railroads that run the city, and the streets look like they are on floors. Down floor is for cars and the upper is for metro.

Between “The Loop” and Michigan park is Millennium park which is probably in line with the city that it is located.

North of the downtown is the richer area of Chicago named Gold Coast (I thing that the name is explaining everything) and Lincoln park. The main area of the town is Michigan Avenue, Chicago's equivalent of New York's Fifth Avenue.

This is shopping area, and  probably the most beautiful street of Chicago, especially the part of it which is called the "Magnificent Mile".

It is one of the few buildings that survived the great fire zone - Water Tower, probably because it was not made ​​of wood.

Walking along the GOLDEN COAST you rich down to Navy Pier which is the right place to take kids if you got one.

There is a large Ferris wheel from which you have an excellent view of the city and the lake.
