Chicago has all the offerings you’d expect from a major city: world-class museums, vibrant shopping districts and ample nightlife venues, just to name a few. If you’re here to learn, plan to spend a fair amount of time in Grant Park: This area is home to some of the city’s most-visited cultural institutions, such as the Art Institute of Chicago, Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium and the Field Museum. For a more Windy City-centric education, start your vacation with a Chicago River or Lake Michigan architectural boat cruise. A boat tour can provide background on Chicago’s famous skyscrapers like the Willis Tower and Tribune Tower.
