The Chicago skyline
marks the gateway to culture and to an incredible adventure for visitors
of all ages. Approach Chicago from any direction, and marvel at the
incomparable view. Explore nearly thirty miles of Lake Michigan
shoreline in this water enthusiast's paradise. Savor the aromas and
flavors of the wide variety of dining choices. Visit museums, art
galleries, and parks. Enjoy a ballet, a symphony, an opera, a leisurely
day of shopping the Magnificent Mile, and a stroll along the waterfront.
The skyline dominates the view along
Lakeshore Boulevard and Michigan Avenue. In the foreground, is one of
the finest aquariums in the world, the John G. Shedd Aquarium. To the
right of the skyline, reaching out into Lake Michigan, is the impressive
3000 foot-long Navy Pier. The large globe-like structure on the hill is
the Adler Planetarium.
Millennium Park, an
ambitious and sometimes controversial addition to Chicago's downtown
lakefront has opened. The centerpiece of the 24-and-a-half-acre park is
the Pritzker Pavilion, a 120-foot-high outdoor music stage framed with a
signature Gehry sculpture. The pavilion will be the new home of the
Grant Park Music Festival, a 70-year-old summer series of classical
concerts. A pedestrian bridge, also designed by Mr. Gehry and spanning
Columbus Drive, provides access to the pavilion and links Millennium
Park to the rest of Chicago's lakefront park system.
