After the Great Chicago Fire in 1871 the city had to rebuild, and they made sure to rebuild big. Chicago became a pioneering destination for skyscrapers, taking advantage of new architectural practices, and hasn't looked back since.
These Chicago Urban Adventure Cruise: 90-minute River and Lake tickets let you see the city's landmarks including the Willis Tower, AON Center, and the John Hancock Building – designed by the same mind that gave the Louvre its glass pyramid.
The city's iconic towers have been paid homage to in movies – think Gotham City – and Chicago remains a jewel in the crown of global architecture. This is one trip you'll want to bring your camera on.
