The Midwest has a reputation for having ‘fly-over’ states; in the sense that people only ever literally fly over them, rather than explore the areas. This reputation is unfounded because there are numerous incredible places to visit, including Chicago.
Chicago proudly sits as a beacon of culture and entertainment in America’s Midwest. This city is famous not only for its dazzling architecture and spectacular skyline, lakefront and river views but also its taste in jazz, blues and the arts. This is the perfect city for groups if you want a metropolis that is bursting with personality.
