Chicago looks great from every angle, whether you’re exploring the city’s astonishing architecture during a guided tour (on foot or aboard a ChicagoRiver boat, lakeshore cruise or sightseeing bus) or you’re enjoying the birds-eye view from the 103rd floor of SkyDeck Chicago in the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) and the 94th floor Handcock Observatory. The city’s 29 miles of lakefront paths are just one reason Chicago is one of the world’s most walkable and beautiful cities.
