Most cities pale in comparison to this urban enclave whose stunning skyline erupts from the western shores of Lake Michigan. Chicago is host to a world of ethnic and religious diversity, world-class educational institutions and shopping, plus commerce and industry. All are enveloped within incomparable architecture. It is also a place of raging winters and seductive summers, crowded highways and tranquil parks, famous people and friendly folks.
