Chicago

Chicago, the birthplace of the modern skyscraper is still a trendsetter in urban architecture and is a must for people interested in 20th century urban architecture.

But the Windy City offers a lot more than architecture alone: it is a bustling city, it is home to many great museums and it has some of the best Blues clubs.
It is also a great city to live in, especially the northern part of the city has a great lively atmosphere and even nice beaches. The last decade, more and more luxury apartments have been built downtown, luring the Chicagoans back to the downtown area (better known as the Loop) and its surroundings in an attempt to reverse the exodus from downtown Chicago.
