Experience Chicago

Industry and creativity converge in Chicago, birthplace of the skyscraper. The Great Fire of 1871 torched much of the old city and Chicago developed a yearning for the new—becoming a catalyst for modernist architecture, among other arts. The City's population of 3.5 million is a melting pot of a diverse mix that has built a city with an unrivaled tradition of jazz and blues, astonishing architecture, an appetite for hearty food, award-winning newspapers, universities full of Nobel laureates and some of the most die-hard sports fans you'll ever meet.
