 Looking to go on a weekend getaway with your family, friends or a special someone? The US might be on top of your list for places to visit, but with hundreds of cities and 50 states to cover, which one do you think you’d like best? Salt Lake City and Denver are places renowned for their awesome outdoor feel and adventure, Miami and San Diego for their spectacular beaches and coastlines as well as their invigorating nightlife, Seattle and San Francisco for their sumptuous cuisines and intellectual minds. It seems every city in the United States of America carry tons of offerings that make them quite alluring to visit and tour. But if you can’t visit all of these tourist hotspots and is left with the daunting decision of choosing one single city or state to visit, the best choice would probably be Chicago City.

While it’s recognized as the Second City, Chicago plays second fiddle to none. With astonishing architectural landscape, up to 40 world-class museums, more than 200 theaters and performance centers, a whopping 200 stand-alone art galleries, and more than 7,000 elegant restaurants serving award-winning cuisines, the city of Chicago is the best place to stay at for a day, week or month of rich culture and history during any season of the year.

So why visit Chicago? One of the main reasons to visit Chicago is that you will never go hungry during your stay in this food-lavishing city. As a matter of fact, a great challenge you’ll face is deciding how you will pack all the eating your palette desires into a limited itinerary. Chicago plays home to 23 different Michelin starred restaurants, two Top Chef Contenders, and a variety of high profile chefs like Grant Achatz and Homaro Cantu. But if your taste and budget limits aren’t up for such high-end dining, budget-friendly restaurants and diners in Chicago are still a treat for your taste buds without emptying your pocket. Must-try foods in Chicago include deep dish pizzas and Chicago-style hot dogs. Nonetheless, you can find other options that fit your taste and budget like Argentine steaks or a plate of mussels.

Another attractive trait of the city is the water activities. Having a well-preserved and maintained beach so close to Chicago is simply great. During summer seasons, the bike paths across Lake Michigan and Lakeshore Drive are swarming with eye candies for miles and miles. At night-time, take a date with your family, friends or a special someone down Navy Pier or across the city within Chicago River. You can also spend time playing beach volleyball at North Beach during perfectly warm summer days. Overall, Chicago is definitely a place to be, regardless of the season or how much you’re rolling with. The experience is simply one-of-a-kind and spectacular.

So how do you go about experiencing all of these offerings? For starters, make sure to apply and secure your ESTA US Visa and other pertinent paperwork necessary for travel. ESTA Visa application may take time to successfully acquire so make sure to work on it in advance.
