ArabicSeeing Chicago Illinois Like a Native, From the Streets!
Too many people
travel here, there and everywhere with the idea of a vacation in
mind, but no idea what is going to happen on that vacation. Chicago
Illinois is different from many other vacation or destination spots,
in that the area represents hundreds of years of architectural
design and pride that can not be seen from the touristy spots on a
map of the perfect destinations to visit while in
Chicago Illinois.
The only way to experience Chicago is from the streets.
Bike tours may not seem like the perfect way to see such a big city, but in Chicago they are the perfect way. Bike tours are available from a variety of vendors and often include bikes, guides and a choice of either a day tour or a night tour. These bike tours are open for all fitness levels and can provide a new and exciting way to see the city of Chicago Illinois from the eye level of those who live and love the city.
If the legs are a bit too stressed for such a hike, the Chicago Trolley can offer a little speed to your tour. The Chicago Trolley operated on a 13 mile route that is constantly moving. There are top restaurants, shopping spots and tourist destinations on the route providing the perfect run around town for those who wish to see the sights without finding a parking place. The Chicago Trolley is a hop on hop off tour, which means an all day rider can catch the trolley as many times as they like and only pay one fee.
Some of the top spots on the trolley tour include the Sears Tower, The Art Institute of Chicago, The John Hancock Observatory and the Navy Pier. Locals often use the trolley to hop around town, riding along side tourists for a real life view of how Chicagoans make the most of their bustling city.
For the
traditional tourist to Chicago Illinois, there are five major
destinations on the map of must sees. These destinations include the
Adler Planetarium, The
Field Museum,
Museum of Science and Industry,
Shedd Aquarium and the Sears Tower Skydeck. Visitors to the area are
in for a treat if any of these spots are on the agenda for the stay
in Chicago. In order to save money, Chicago offers a Go Chicago Card
Pass saving visitors big bucks off the entrance fees to all five of
these top spots. Now that is what makes Chicago a great place to
visit.
A vacation or trip to Chicago could not be completed without a ground, or water, level view of the city. Chicago river and boat tours are available for daily trips or weekly excursions. Odyssey Cruises offers many trips and specials for yearly events at extraordinarily cheap prices. A one night tour on the water, complete with dinner can cost less than $60.00 per person. Now that is what cruising is all about.
Life is only as special as the memories we create. When visiting Chicago Illinois, take the time to see the city the way it was meant to be seen, from the land, from the trolley, from the air and from the water.
