First friend trip ;)

Chicago is a great city with awe-inspiring architecture, delicious food, and famous attractions to fill any trip. This first-timer's guide is here to help you navigate the city's must-see sights, ensuring you make the most of your Windy City adventure.

Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of Chicago! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things Chicago for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of: ☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries 🌮 Local cuisine 🏛️ Museums of all kinds 🌳 Gardens & parks 🛏️ Boutique hotels 🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!
