Very nice video! Chicago is such a great city with a lot to do. You did quite a lot. Thank you for sharing your visit!

Hallo! Sehr hilfreicher Reiseführer für Chicago! Besonders der Tipp mit dem Wassertaxi als günstige Alternative ist klasse. Die Aufnahmen von der Londonhouse Rooftop Bar war toll. Frohe Ostern!🌷🐰
Looks like a fun couple of days in Chicago! The bean is a very iconic spot for the city, but yes it is busy. You had some excellent views of Chicago from the Chicago Observation Deck. I have been up there, but it was several years ago. Major bummer that is was so foggy when you went up onto the Skydeck. Yes the water off of the Great Lakes can change the weather quickly. The water taxi looks fun and great way to see the city. Enjoy your day! 😊👍
Hello. What a super helpful itinerary! 😍 It's great how you've managed to condense the highlights into just two days.🤩 Especially the tips for the architecture tour and the deep-dish pizza experience.🙂 Fantastic work! 😉Thank you so much. Best regards.🤗
Chicago looks absolutely fantastic. Definitely a place on my bucket list 🤠
