The Best of NileGuide
- Chicago holds some great must-see attractions, but its' fantastic urban landscapes are not to be missed. Lake Michigan is nicely framed by sprawling parks, perfect for walking, running, or laying out with a good book. Soccer and baseball teams are often seen practicing in the open grass areas during the summer months. Millennium Park, situated in the heart of downtown, is the true outdoor gem of Chicago, complete with an outdoor performance space, the infamous "Cloud Gate," gardens, and open space to wander. So, grab a book and blanket and find a quiet grassy knoll to relax in Chicago's great parks.
