Author of Perfect Day Chicago

Even with its gleaming glass and steel skyline, the Windy City has always been known as a city of neighborhoods, and whether you’re a dyed-in-the-wool local or an out-of-towner, you’ll discover something new here. With this guidebook full of itineraries, you can spend the day exploring the lakefront, wandering through the first planetarium in the Western Hemisphere, cheering in the second-oldest ballpark, dancing at one of the more than 70 music festivals, or seeing a performance in a live theater venue. While popular attractions like the Art Institute of Chicago, Navy Pier, Millennium Park, and Willis Tower are included here, lesser-known neighborhood gems are as well.

As someone who has spent over half her life in Chicagoland, first as a college student and later as a mother, roller derby player, and professional travel writer, I can tell you that this global city, sprinkled with Midwestern charm, is unlike any other.
