For a view of Chicago from above, head for the Willis Tower. The skyscraper is 110 stories tall. Be prepared to wait in line for several hours to go to the top, though. The tower and its Skydeck are very popular. After reaching the Skydeck, step out into one of the glass boxes if you dare. Only a sheet of glass lies between you and the street far below! For a similar view without the wait, go to the John Hancock Building instead. The view from the top is especially breathtaking at night.
If buildings interest you, take the popular architecture boat trip on the Chicago River. You'll hear interesting stories of Chicago's famous buildings. For another view from above, head to Navy Pier and ride its 15-story Ferris wheel. You can enjoy the other rides and attractions on the pier as well.
With so much to see and do and eat, what's not to love about Chicago?
