Chicago is such a fun town! With friendly locals, a fantastic food scene, and world-class museums, you can’t go wrong with a visit to Chicago. So whether you’re traveling here for the first time or a frequent visitor, here are the top things to do in Chicago!

We’ve visited Chicago many times both as a couple as well as individuals throughout our life. We have friends there, we’ve traveled for work there, and we find excuses to keep coming back to explore. Every time, we find new things to do in Chicago and fall in love with it even more!
