Chicago travel tips
Make a wish at the sign on Route 66 in Chicago
The famous Route 66 runs from The Loop to California. It includes the main streets of small towns and villages and is called the Mother Road. You will love the ride along this route: wide horizons, ancient museums, family eateries, and ghost towns are waiting. The best time for such a car trip is May-September.
Take a closer look at modern culture at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago
Visitors determine the cost of entry to the Museum of Contemporary Art on their own. The suggested price is $15, but no one will judge you if you leave less or more. The museum is worth seeing for the works of artists such as Meagan Burger, Howardena Pindell, Andy Warhol, and others.
Enjoy the wonderful Tiffany mosaics at the Chicago Cultural Center
The Chicago Cultural Center used to be a public library and attracts tourists primarily with its beautiful Tiffany mosaics, especially at Preston Bradley Hall. The rooms in this building were inspired by Palazzo Ducale in Venice and Palazzo in Florence. Check the schedule and come here for a free event!
