A couple of weeks ago, I had the chance to visit Chicago where I stayed for 2 nights. It was winter so the weather was cold although I still was able to do the Chicago Architecture Tour together with 50 other brave (and freezing) participants 😉 I did the Millenium Park and Sky Deck myself which was just as enjoyable. In case you are planning to visit Chicago (hopefully when it's summer), here are some of my travel tips!

The Skydeck (Willis Tower): This is a must if you want to see the skyscrapers in Chicago!

Chicago Architecture Tour: I really loved this tour as it gave me the idea of how most of the buildings were constructed and its present use. I took the Wendella Tours & Cruises which was perfect as we had an amazing guide.

Magnificent Mile: this is 13 blocks long in Michigan Avenue famous for upscale shopping and dining. Here, you´ll find Starbucks Reserve Roastery and the Harry Potter among others.
