What to do in Chicago, N Michigan Avenue - W Wacker Drive

If you are on a thight schedule, the best way to take in the sights is via a public tour of the city either by bike, foot, segway, double decker bus or boat.

The most popular is an architectural boat tour, which departs from the south side of the Michigan Avenue bridge and takes you down the Chicago River, highlighting the city's eminent architecture and skyline.

Chicagoans are justly proud of Millenium Park. Home to a miniature wild-grass prairie garden, the hugely popular Cloud Gate (or "Jelly Bean") sculpture and an interactive fountain, the park is a fantastic place tor a stroll opr a picnic. And in the summer, the city holds free lunchtime concerts at the Frank GGehry - designed Pritzker Pavilion. For a compleate listing of concerts, visit www.millennimpark.org
