Afisha Life | Чикаго за один день: пішохідна екскурсія їжею, історією та архітектурою

1

Чиказький театр

Ми починаємо нашу екскурсію під сліпучим шатром Чиказького театру (де ви можете впізнати неонову вивіску з мюзиклу «Чікаго»), а потім вирушимо у гамірне місто.

2

Чикаго Педвей

Потім ми попрямуємо до Chicago Pedway. Ця унікальна особливість Чикаго використовується місцевими жителями та мандрівниками щодня, щоб пересуватися містом у мережі підземних тунелів — особливо необхідної взимку на Середньому Заході. Ми повернемося на землю біля міської ратуші, і в більшість будніх днів зможемо зайти всередину, щоб побачити класичний дизайн інтер’єру та архітектуру.

3

Набережна Чикаго

Якщо дозволить погода, ми прогуляємося набережною Чикаго, милуючись краєвидами кількох високих будівель, у тому числі Marina Towers, Britannica Building і Sears Tower (тепер відома як Willis Tower).

4

Річка Чикаго

Звідти ми або сядемо на потяг «L». Поїзд «L» визнано пам’яткою Чикаго, оскільки десятиліттями його зняли у фільмах і телешоу. Ви будете насолоджуватися відчуттям місцевого жителя, коли будете проноситися повз будівлі та спостерігати ще більше приголомшливих краєвидів.

5

Чудова миля

Нарешті, ми прогуляємося красивими парками на березі озера вздовж Мічиган-авеню

6

Хмарні ворота

Ми потрапимо в мальовничий Міленіум Парк, де знаходиться культова скульптура Бін. Тут (або неподалік) ваш гід завершить вашу екскурсію та вкаже вам правильний напрямок до більш дивовижних пам’яток, чудових місць для обіду або рекомендації щодо напоїв в одному з найдивовижніших місць у місті.
