It’s hardly surprising that Chicago, home of the world’s first skyscraper and the tallest building in the United States (Sears Tower) should attract fans and students of architecture.

With a breathtaking skyline, Chicago must-sees are almost too numerous to mention. The distinctive ornamental buildings of Louis Henry Sullivan and the clean, Prairie style of Frank Lloyd Wright ought to top of first-time visitors' lists, though.

But don't think for a minute that Chicago is all steel and concrete: The city boasts 29 miles of lakefront, which includes beaches and parkland with jogging and cycling paths.

Could Chicago be your kind of town?
