3 days in Chicago Itinerary

A huge and vibrant city, Chicago is home to top-notch theaters, shops, museums, galleries, and restaurants.

Chicago Riverwalk and Baha'i House of Worship will appeal to history buffs. Step out of the city life by going to Lakefront Trail and Whihala Beach. Go for a jaunt from Chicago to Merrillville to see Albanese Candy Factory about 1 hour away. There's still lots to do: explore the world behind art at The Art Institute of Chicago, engage your brain at Museum of Science and Industry, wander the streets of Lincoln Park, and admire the natural beauty at Lincoln Park Conservatory.
