Numa cidade com poucas atrações turísticas, o visitante não teria muita razão para deixar o hotel e encarar a forte chuva. No caso de Chicago, não há tempo ruim que justifique isso.

Entre museus, restaurantes, observatórios, casas de música e outras tantas atrações, há muito o que fazer na cidade que, frequentemente, é comparada a Nova York, mas sempre com a ressalva de que seria mais tranquila, mais barata e até mais acolhedora. Seria uma Nova York numa escala menor. Há controvérsias. A cidade tem, digamos, “personalidade” própria, com muito o que mostrar. A seguir, confira algumas das atrações que são a sua “cara”.
