Chicago, USA
City introduction
Architecture by the lake — deep dish, blues and the Bean. Chicago is America's great architecture city: the river cruise past a century of skyscrapers, Millennium Park's Bean, the Art Institute's Americana, deep-dish and Italian beef rivalries, blues clubs, and a lakefront that behaves like an ocean. Summer is the reward for surviving the winter.
