Explore Chicago's most iconic landmarks on a free walking tour that includes a park on Lake Michigan. Discover interesting facts and hidden gems in the Windy City.

Tour Highlights

We’ll meet at Daley Plaza next to the Picasso statue to begin our free tour. This is an opportunity to learn about Chicago’s urban art scene.

We will stroll through the Theater District, discussing Chicago’s architectural history, including the first skyscraper and the Willis Tower, which was the world’s tallest building for many years.

Next, we’ll visit the Art Institute of Chicago, established as both a school and a museum in 1879, and recognized as one of the world’s best art museums.

Our tour will proceed to Millennium Park, where we’ll explore famous spots like the Lurie Garden, embodying Chicago’s motto: “city in a garden.” Here, we will discuss the park's development along the shores of Lake Michigan and its role in transforming Chicago’s landscape.

After 2.5 hours, we’ll conclude the tour in front of the Wrigley Building, after crossing the Chicago River.
