  • The Best of NileGuide
  • You have seen the main tourist attractions and are ready for more. Chicago sprawls in every direction away from the lake with plenty of quirky, interesting, and fun things to see and do. Begin your adventure far north, just beyond the borders of the city at the Chicago Botanic Gardens, where you can wander through acres of beautifully crafted landscape anytime of the year. Continue your peaceful journey at the Baha'i House of Worship. This gleaming structure is one of only seven in the world and its' exquisite design is something to marvel at! West of the loop also offers an interesting escape in Oak Park, home of the Frank Lloyd Wright Studio, the Robie House, and the Hemingway Museum. Heading south of the Loop grab a cheap and authentic meal in Chinatown, then wander the streets for unique shops, markets, and butchers. Also enjoy a day in Hyde Park, exploring the University of Chicago campus, admiring the historic South Shore Cultural Center and its' surrounding gardens, expanding your visual arts mind at the Hyde Park Arts Center, and finally relaxing in Washington Park, which offers ponds, gardens, baseball diamonds, basketball courts, and fountains.
