Chicago is explored as a mosaic of neighborhoods, parks, and towers, each telling a part of its story. The city reveals itself through reflections on Lake Michigan, glass facades rising above the river, and museums among the richest in the United States. The journey takes you from a public garden resembling an art gallery to a platform attached to a tower, then to a shopping avenue with architecture competing with storefronts. Cultural centers, iconic stadiums, and ethnic neighborhoods add further dimensions to this urban landscape. Here is a selection of places that show Chicago as it is lived, amidst height, culture, and daily energy.
