    It's one of the most famous artistic attractions in Chicago and one of the most striking in the whole country. Its official name is the Cloud Gate and it's the work of the Indian artist Anish Kapoor. And best of all, the most striking thing about this piece of art is not the work itself, but what surrounds it: the skyscrapers.

    Another of the top places to visit in Chicago is Navy Pier, a kilometer-long dock which currently houses an amusement park, outdoor terraces, restaurants, shopping centers, and much more. There's no excuse to sit in your hotel wondering what to do in Chicago! Another of the great things to do in Chicago is enjoying a bird's-eye-view of the city from the Willis Tower. Honestly, this is one of the scarier Chicago attractions because the top of the tower has a glass floor that is not for those prone to vertigo!

    Make sure to take note of these other famous Chicago activities: the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, the John Hancock Tower and Chinatown. For more information on stuff to do in Chicago, have a look at the tips and recommendations from real minube users..
