About the Activity

Experience the story of Chicago through its skyline on a walking tour that stretches from the city’s 19th-century roots to its most striking modern towers. From Beaux-Arts to modernist to Art Deco, this architecture tour has it all. Start near beautiful Millennium Park to enjoy those lakefront views. Then follow your guide past architectural gems from the 1920s and landmarks like the Wrigley Building and Tribune Tower, plus eye-catching storefronts including the world’s largest Starbucks and a Harry Potter-themed shop. Step off Michigan Avenue to explore luxury spots like Cartier and St. Laurent before wrapping up at the former John Hancock Center. If you’ve selected the upgrade, you’ll head up 1,030 feet to 360 Chicago to be dazzled by panoramic views of Lake Michigan and the pinnacles of skyscrapers below your feet. Come see what makes this mile truly magnificent!
