Whenever you travel to a new place there is always an unspoken list of things that you must see. If you are traveling to Chicago then your list might be pretty long. It’s impossible to see them all, but Chicago concierges have made it easy with these favorites.

The Bean
The Cloud Gate, or better known as ’The Bean’, is one of the largest permanent outdoor installations in the world. It is made of stainless steel and is polished to perfection so that there are no visible seams. It’s one of those things that is just cool to look at. You can see different parts of the skyline depending on where you stand.
