Riverwalk

"Wonderful walk by the river. A great way to discover the city at your own pace and take lovely pictures of the buildings. In the winter, it’s also very calm and you won’t see many people there. If you’re lucky to arrive in Chicago on a sunny day, the riverwalk is the perfect way to begin your trip!"

"My favorite way to explore a new city is to just go out for a long walk. The Chicago Riverwalk has some amazing views of the river and the impressive buildings and beautiful architecture that surround it. It felt very safe with a lot of locals and tourists enjoying the trail. There are plenty of bars and restaurants along the Riverwalk if you want to stop for a bite or a beer."

"This is a very pleasant way (apart from the cruises) to see some of the great architecture of Chicago. The walkways are kept clean and there are plenty of riverside cafes and bars to stop out. The walkway leads to a path along Lake Michigan and from here you can go for miles if you want to. I believe there is something like 26-28 miles of walking paths around the river and lake. There are signs to explain the route and there are toilets that seem to be cleaned regularly. I loved it❣️"
