CHICAGO COMBINES HUNDREDS OF AMAZING THINGSTO SEE AND DO WITH COUNTLESS WAYS TO SEE AND DO THEM. EVERY DAY IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING YOU’LL NEVER FORGET,

SO DON’T WASTE A MINUTE.

The best views of summer in the city come from the water, and nobody covers Lake Michigan and the Chicago River quite like Shoreline Sightseeing (600 E. Grand, 312.222.9328).

ADVENTUREHISTORY FUN

The rich, complex story ofChicago is told at the DuSableMuseum of African AmericanHistory (740 E. 56th;773.947.0600). From the tumultuous reign of formerMayor Harold Washington to the origins of the AACM creativemusical collective, this Hyde Parkhideaway is a great place to learnhow the city’s past helped shapeits present.

You’re sure to see them up and down the lakefront and allover the city streets – those distinctive blue Divvy Bikes(855.553.4889). Pick up a 24-hourpass for just $7 and enjoy unlimited 30-minute rides(longer rides incur overtimecharges) and experience thecoolest, most convenient way to get around town.

It’s all about paddle power atKayak Chicago (1220 W.LeMoyne; 312.852.9258). Whetheryou opt for a guided tour or aself-directed float, there’s noth-ing quite like seeing the ChicagoRiver and its many different envi-rons up close and personal rightfrom the surface of the water.
