So, you find yourself in Chicago for the first time and have exactly 3 days to see the sights.\u00a0 But, you don\u2019t know where to start.\u00a0 Don\u2019t worry!\u00a0 We\u2019ve got you covered.\u00a0 Just follow our Windy City fantasy itinerary for a fine balance of fun, culture, and relaxation!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Day 1:\u00a0 Art, Wine, & Sports<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Morning:\u00a0 Even if you aren\u2019t much of an art-lover, the Art Institute of Chicago<\/a><\/span><\/strong> is a must for any first-timer.\u00a0 On display are many world-famous paintings that any art novice would recognize, such as Wood\u2019s American Gothic<\/em>, Hopper\u2019s Nighthawks<\/em>, Cassatt\u2019s The Child\u2019s Bath<\/em>, and much more!\u00a0 It\u2019s one of the best museums in the United States and is not to be missed!<\/p>\n

Afternoon:\u00a0\u00a0After all that walking around and thoughtful reflection inside the Art Institute, it\u2019s probably time for a glass of wine, isn\u2019t it?\u00a0 At the City Winery at the Riverwalk<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, you won\u2019t find bottles, labels, or corks.\u00a0 That\u2019s because City Winery uses stainless steel kegs and an ultra-thin layer of argon gas to ensure every pour is as fresh as the previous.\u00a0 Cheers!<\/p>\n

Evening:\u00a0\u00a0Are you ready for a meal and a show, Chicago-style?\u00a0 Gain a different perspective of Wrigley Field and the Chicago Cubs with Wrigley Rooftops<\/a><\/span><\/strong> tickets!\u00a0 Enjoy an all-you-can-eat experience on the roof of a historic Chicago edifice while you kick your feet up and enjoy the game.\u00a0 Drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, are also unlimited.\u00a0 Go Cubbies!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Day 2:\u00a0 Brunch, Parks, & Chicago Jazz<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Morning:\u00a0\u00a0After all that eating and drinking last night, you probably aren\u2019t going to make it to breakfast, are you?\u00a0 No worries!\u00a0 You were smart enough to book a brunch at Cindy\u2019s Rooftop<\/a><\/span><\/strong> in advance!\u00a0 Classic comfort food and inventive edibles await hungry guests at this large-format dining experience.\u00a0 If you get too full, then you can catch your breath on the open-air terrace for panoramic views of Lake Michigan, Millennium Park, and beyond!<\/p>\n

Afternoon:\u00a0\u00a0Once you are done with brunch, you might want to burn a few calories walking around the Midwestern United States\u2019 #1 tourist attraction:\u00a0 Millennium Park<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 Take a picture in front of the easily-recognizable Cloud Gate, the mind-warping, reflective steel bean.\u00a0 Or, cool off in the waters of the interactive Crown Fountain.\u00a0 With over a dozen separate attractions within the park, prepare to spend a little time here.<\/p>\n

Evening :\u00a0\u00a0Chicago is known for its blues and jazz scenes.\u00a0 And, there may be no better place to get an authentic taste of the Chicago nightlife than The Green Mill Cocktail Lounge<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 If you\u2019re lucky, you might get to sit in the booth previously reserved for Al Capone.\u00a0 But, if not, you can still listen to some jazz beautifully played by established musicians and up-and-comers alike.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Day3:\u00a0 Fish, Crime, & A Final Farewell<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Morning:\u00a0 We hope you didn\u2019t stay out too late last night because we have a busy day ahead, starting with the Shedd Aquarium<\/a><\/span><\/strong>!\u00a0 One of the largest aquariums in the world, Shedd Aquarium offers a wide range of novel attractions.\u00a0 Immerse yourself in one of Shedd\u2019s 4-D cinematic experiences.\u00a0 Or, dip your hand below the surface to see what stingrays, sturgeons, and starfish feel like.\u00a0 Today is going to be off the hook!<\/p>\n

Afternoon:\u00a0 Do yourself a favor and take one of the Chicago Crime Tours<\/a><\/span><\/strong>!\u00a0 Investigate Al Capone, The Untouchables, John Dillinger, and more!\u00a0 Visit some of the most notorious places in Chicago, such as the site of the St. Valentine\u2019s Day Massacre and others.\u00a0 Skip this popular Chicago attraction and you might find yourself at the bottom of Lake Michigan wearing a pair of cement galoshes!<\/p>\n

Evening:\u00a0 Assuming you survived the Crime Tour, it\u2019s time to take one last look at the Windy City.\u00a0 And, there\u2019s no better way to do that than from 95 floors above the streets with a drink in your hand.\u00a0 The Signature Room at the Ninety-fifth<\/a><\/span><\/strong> floor of the John Hancock Building will wet your whistle and take your breath away, simultaneously.\u00a0 Enjoy panoramic views of the city without all the hassle you\u2019d experience at other observation decks.\u00a0 It\u2019s the perfect way to say \u201cgoodbye\u201d.<\/p>\n
