Additional Information

Chicago, also known as the Windy City, has a rich legacy that it carries with great pride. You’ll have the opportunity to explore its numerous iconic spots, ranging from the historical Astor Tower to the brooding Gothic appeal of the Playboy mansion; it offers more than just the stereotypical bunny costumes! Walk the very same corridors once traversed by Frank Lloyd Wright and deepen your knowledge of the country’s architectural heritage. Pay particularly attention to Potter Palmer mansion – one of the city’s largest homes that houses an impressive collection of Picasso and Monet artworks, portraying America from a unique perspective. Don’t miss the chance to marvel at the understated stonework of the Cardinal Mansion, also recognized as the House of the 19 Chimneys. Experience the wind, culture, and elegance of Chicago, a city that embodies compelling tales and a significant indigenous influence. Don’t forget to inquire your guide about ‘onions’!
