Sitting on the shores of Lake Michigan, Chicago is the third-largest city in the U.S. and the undisputed capital of the Midwest. It is architecturally stunning, known as the birthplace of the skyscraper, and features a skyline that rivals any in the world. The city is famous for its distinct neighborhoods, deep-dish pizza, and passionate sports fans. Culturally, it is a powerhouse with world-class museums like the Art Institute, a thriving theater district, and a legendary history of jazz and blues music. Despite its size, the “Windy City” is often noted for having a friendlier, more manageable vibe than New York or Los Angeles.
