The Loop, Chicago, IL
2.5mi from Soldier Field

I generally like to get to know a city by getting off the beaten touristy path. However, this is one tourist attraction I kept returning to even as a Chicago resident, and I continue to recommend it to any visitor! The architecture boat tour is a perfect blend of cultural storytelling and leisure (with booze), and it provides the best skyline views if you select the option that goes out on the lake. It's such a fun and memorable way to understand—and fall in love with—Chicago’s architectural spirit. During the day, it is fun; at night, it's even better!

Chicago — Chicago winters test you, but summer rewards you—lakefront and riverside walks, rooftops, and sunsets that make all the cold days worth it.
