11 Reasons to Visit Chicago in 2024

Chicago is my favorite city to visit in the U.S.?! Here are 11 reasons why!

Chicago is often passed over in favor of NYC, and while I love visiting New York, I find that I prefer Chicago. Many people are surprised to hear that, and often, those people have never been to the Second City! If that’s you, check out this video - you’ll find the birthplace of the skyscraper, an excellent restaurant and bar scene - just ask Michelin! You’ll encounter friendly, mid-western people who love to be outside in the summer-- at the parks and the beaches; the outdoor cafes and the rooftop terraces; on the lake and the river; at the ballgames, the festivals, and the concerts! This is a big city with a neighborhood feel.
