But whether you’re for or against non-conventional pizza slices, one thing’s for sure, no trip would ever be complete without having a bite of this dish.

2. Visit the Art Institute of Chicago  

But if you’re in the city to brush up on culture and art, then nothing beats visiting the Art Institute of Chicago.

An art lover’s dream, visiting this institution is sure to inspire anyone’s who stuck in a bit of a creative funk.

3. Get the Perfect View of the Skyline

Chicago is known for its stunningly beautiful skyline and the best (if not only) way to soak in all its beauty would be to visit the 360 Observation Deck which is found on the 94th floor of the John Hancock Center. Encased with ceiling to floor glass walls, it gives an undisturbed and panoramic view of Chicago’s famous horizon. A word of caution though, if you’re afraid of heights and would rather enjoy this view from somewhere that doesn’t feel you’re about to fall into the clouds then you may want to skip this one.

4. Explore the city’s sights via Segway

It might not seem like something that should be part of your to-do list but exploring the city via Segway is one of the best was to enjoy the sights without spending too much or going overboard. It’s a simple but a well-loved way of getting around the city while getting to know more about what it has to offer.   So, if you’re looking for a pocket-friendly but memorable activity to do during your stay, consider booking a Segway tour – trust us, you won’t regret it.

5. Catch a game at Wrigley Field

Whether or not you like baseball, catching a live game on Wrigley Field is sure to make you feel like you’ve been a cub fan all your life. There’s nothing quite like hearing the true fans cheer enthusiastically for their heroes. But if you can’t score game tickets, try booking a guided tour instead. It won’t be as exciting but at least you’ll understand part of Chicago history. To complete the baseball experience, make sure to take a bit of their hotdog.

No matter what you’re looking for, Chicago is a city that can deliver the most unforgettable memories through their one-of-a-kind attractions and activities.
