The metropolitan area is home to up to 10 million people. Chicago has been an important trading city in the United States since the mid-19th century. This function is favored by its status as a railway junction and its location at the mouth of the Illinois Waterway. The Illinois Waterway connects to the Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi River. The city is the seat of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the largest commodity futures exchange in the United States, and the Chicago Board of Trade, the largest commodity, futures and options exchange in the United States. It is also home to the largest regional exchange in the United States, the Chicago Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, Chicago attracted 50 million domestic leisure travelers, 11 million domestic business travelers and 1.3 million overseas visitors. In 2013, Chicago was chosen as one of the &#8220;Top Ten Cities in the United States&#8221; to visit for its restaurants, skyscrapers, museums, and waterfront, by the readers of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cntraveler.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" class=\"extern matomo_link wpel-icon-right\">Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler<span class=\"wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-3\"><\/span><\/a> and in 2020 for the fourth year in a row, Chicago was named the top U.S. city tourism destination.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d640060.9260455447!2d-88.01587052328875!3d41.82182033417752!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x880e2c3cd0f4cbed%3A0xafe0a6ad09c0c000!2sChicago%2C%20Illinois%2C%20USA!5e0!3m2!1sde!2sde!4v1586535466899!5m2!1sde!2sde\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" aria-hidden=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"our-sightseeing-tour-in-chicago\"><\/span>Our sightseeing tour in Chicago<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, the city welcomed us with rainy weather.

Since we fly again the next morning, we didn&#8217;t have much time to explore the main sights of the city. Flamingo Sculpture stands on a square surrounded by skyscrapers. Due to the bright red colours, she has shone beautifully on the rainy, grey day. The next port of call was Grant Park, which is located in the middle of Chicago&#8217;s business center and runs directly along Lake Michigan. <\/p>\n<p>It is also home to <strong>the Buckingham Fountain,<\/strong>which with its 5.7 million litres of water and 800 lights is considered one of the largest fountains in the world. The fountain marked the eastern end of the legendary Route 66. Another highlight is the Millennium Park in the northwest with its famous <strong>Cloud Gate<\/strong>, which is located in the middle of at&amp;T Square. The sculpture is very popular with many tourists, as you can take distorted self-portraits here.<\/p>\n<div id=\"jig1\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-b7fffd3f22248f9b4fae0dc963b2a78b

Here, one skyscraper lined up next to the other. Probably the most famous building here is the <a href=\"https:\/\/theskydeck.com\/plan-a-visit\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" class=\"extern matomo_link wpel-icon-right\">Willis Tower<span class=\"wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-3\"><\/span><\/a>. The Willis Tower (formerly named Sears Tower) is a popular destination for tourists. The Willis Tower has an observation deck open to tourists year round with high up views overlooking Chicago and Lake Michigan. The observation deck includes an enclosed glass balcony that extends 10 feet out on the side of the building.<\/p>\n<p>When it got dark, we walked along Lake Michigan towards Navy Pier, a pier about a kilometer long. The Navy Pier is now considered the city&#8217;s largest tourist attraction and houses, among other things, the Children&#8217;s Museum, an IMAX cinema and the 47.5 m high Ferris Wheel.<\/p>\n<div

From there we continued by plane to Los Angeles and from there by rental car via Las Vegas, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Salt Lake City and Yellowstone National Park to Denver. For the last leg of our trip we went to the East Coast, where we visited New York, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. All in all an incredibly varied round trip with really many highlights.\r\n<hr  class=\"x-gap\" style=\"margin: 20px 0 0 0;\">\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bilder\/sonstige\/route-usa-2012.jpg\" alt=\"Route USA 2012\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38831\" \/>\r\n\r\n&#187; Illinois: <a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/en\/united-states\/illinois-chicago-tourist-attractions-things-to-do-photo-spots\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\">Chicago \u2013 Tourist Attractions, Things to Do & Photo spots<\/a><br>\r\n&#187; California: <a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/en\/united-states\/california-los-angeles-walk-of-fame-chinese-theatre-hollywood-sign\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\">Los Angeles \u2013 Walk of Fame, Chinese Theatre & Hollywood Sign<\/a><br>\r\n&#187; Nevada: <a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/en\/united-states\/nevada-las-vegas-casinos-fremont-street-the-las-vegas-sign\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\">Las Vegas \u2013 Casinos, Fremont Street & the Las Vegas Sign<\/a><br>\r\n&#187; Utah: <a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/en\/united-states\/utah-zion-national-park-attractions-hiking-trails\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\">Zion National Park \u2013 Attractions & Hiking Trails<\/a><br>\r\n&#187; Utah: <a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/en\/united-states\/utah-bryce-canyon-navajo-loop-wall-street-viewpoints\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\">Bryce Canyon \u2013 Navajo Loop, Wall Street & Viewpoints<\/a><br>\r\n&#187; Utah: <a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/en\/united-states\/utah-salt-lake-city-tourist-attractions-things-to-do-photo-spots\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\">Salt Lake City \u2013 Tourist Attractions, Things to Do & Photo spots<\/a><br>\r\n&#187; Idaho: <a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/en\/united-states\/idaho-falls-waterfall-yellowstone-bear-world\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\">Idaho Falls \u2013 The Waterfalls & the Yellowstone Bear World<\/a><br>\r\n&#187; Wyoming: <a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/en\/united-states\/wyoming-yellowstone-national-park-travel-guide-things-to-do\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\">Yellowstone National Park \u2013 Travel Guide & Things to Do<\/a><br>\r\n&#187; Colorado: <a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/en\/united-states\/colorado-denver-travel-guide-tings-to-do-zoo\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\">Denver \u2013 Travel Guide, Things to Do & The Zoo<\/a><br>\r\n&#187; New York: <a href=\"https:\/\/one-million-places.com\/en\/united-states\/new-york-in-one-day-perfect-route-walk-manhattan\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\" class=\"noicon\">New York in one day?
