Description
Taking in the art is a must… Millennium Park, set on the lakefront is not only Chicago’s no.1 green space, but it’s filled with impressive modern art, including pieces like ‘The Bean’ which in itself is a famous city landmark. The Art Institute of Chicago should be also on your to do list as it’s the USA’s 2nd largest art museum and is filled with masterpieces.
Admire the architecture by just wandering the streets, but if your neck is a little sore from looking up at all the impressive skyscrapers, take a relaxing boat tour to see the skyline in all its glory. You should also visit Chicago’s Water Tower, a 154ft turreted tower which is the only downtown survivor from the Great Chicago Fire in 1871, and Buckingham Fountain, one of the world’s largest fountains.
For views of the city from above head to 360 Chicago Observation Deck situated on the 94th floor of the 3rd tallest skyscraper which boasts some of the best views of Chicago, or skip the tour fee and go for a cheeky drink at their bar on 96th floor. Alternatively if you’re daring enough, Willis Tower (previously Sears Tower) boasts a glass balcony observation deck which is extremely popular.
The city also has some of the USA’s best museums, the most popular being The Museum of Science and Industry, The Field Museum of Natural history and The Alder Planetarium & Astronomy Museum.
There’s plenty for all the family too with the Shedd Aquarium and the Lincoln Park Zoo topping the list. Then Chicago’s number one tourist attraction is Navy Pier, filled with fun things like its iconic Ferris Wheel, its IMAX theatre and its many restaurants and bars.
Shopaholics will love Michigan Avenue, sworn by many to beat any other US city for shops and department stores. Alternatively for something a little different head to Randolph Street Market which is a big hit in town, and is styled on London’s Portobello Market.
Also make sure you try an authentic Chicago deep dish pizza… The Art of Pizza in Lakeview was once named the best deep dish in Chicago so it’s definitely worth a try!

Have just booked with eShores for the second time. Gavin planned a three week Caribbean Island hopping trip earlier this year which was fantastic and very well organised. We decided to do the same thing again and look forward to our next trip in January. Would definitely recommend this company and use them again.

Eshore’s are an excellent company I can’t praise them enough, especially Adam who has been amazing. He was really patient as I’m indecisive and changed my mind several times. He persevered and found us a dream holiday and put together great itinerary covering every aspect of our journey . Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances we had to cancel the trip and Adam went above and beyond to recoup as much as possible for us. It was a huge help & felt very personal as if he were a friend. We have rescheduled the holiday & will use Eshores for all future trips’

I had never heard of eshores till I decided to plan a multi-stop holiday in Turkey some weeks ago. The decision to use eshores was based on a quick internet search for any help I could get with this. So, i wasnt really expecting much. As the planning was at relatively short notice...and we had never travelled to Turkey, I was pleasantly surprised at the support I had from Rachel at eshores who listened to what I wanted and was patient to go back and forth with me till I had the exact holiday I wanted (Istanbul, Ankara and Antalya). I always had a response with every query(and I had quite a few!!). The travel itself worked like a dream...both international and domestic flights were straightforward, but even more surprising was how reliable the multiple taxis to and fro airports were, even when picking up at 0330!! Overall, the experience has been very positive and I would be very happy to use the service again
