Caption: Start in the heart of Chicago, "The Loop," at Millennium Park. Have some fun taking pics at the iconic Cloud Gate (aka "The Bean") and at the interactive Crown Fountain, then take a short walk to the historic Buckingham Fountain. Or go the opposite direction to the famous Navy Pier—it's about a 30-minute walk. Start at
Millennium Park

Those who savor mornings, should try this coffeehouse located outside of the city center in the Hyde Park neighborhood on the University of Chicago campus. It's worth the trip for homemade scones and fresh coffee!
