BESTThe most memorable experience of this trip to Chicago was the Chicago First Lady Cruise. A must-see for architecture lovers, this authentic guided river cruise organized by the Chicago Architecture Center provides easy-to-understand explanations in English about the history and design details of the buildings that you might miss just by walking around the city. The skyscrapers of Chicago seen from above the river look like art. The angle of looking up at Willis Tower and Trump Tower from directly below was particularly impressive, and I couldn't stop taking pictures with my smartphone. The cruise time was just right, and the 90 minutes flew by in a flash. The breeze was pleasant, and it was the perfect time to take a break in between sightseeing. The deck seats are popular, so it's recommended that you line up early! Although the guide was in English, there were also photos of the buildings and pamphlets available, so even if you are not good at English, you can still enjoy the tour. It was a memorable cruise that I would recommend you experience if you visit Chicago.
