GET YOUR EXERCISE

Rent a bike and pedal your way around some of Chicago's ethnically diverse neighborhoods. There are several different companies who do this. You can also rent a segway.

SEE CHICAGO FROM THE HEIGHTS

Go to the top of the country's tallest building the Sears Tower. The views from the observation deck are amazing. Just the ride up is something that you don't get everyday. There is a display of pictures of Chicago and her more famous people on the observation deck.

BE IMPRESSED BY THE ART

If you can only do one museum make it the Chicago Institute of Art. This is a world class museum that really is in a class by itself. A very deep collection of old masters, American artist and impressionist and post impressionists.

SEE A SHOW

Get tickets to one of the shows, Broadway or comedy take your pick, both can be found in abundance. I am going to suggest that you buy them as far in advance as you can since they are very popular.

ENJOY THE BREEZE

Be prepared for the wind, it isn't called the windy city for nothing. In October it was brisk to say the least.

EAT PIZZA

Be sure to try some Chicago deep dish pizza. It is an institution that has spread to the far corners of the United States you must try it whehre it all began.

STAY AT A B&B

Flemish House off of North Michigan Ave is a downtown B&B and it was amazing. The location is fabulous and the hosts very welcoming. You don't get a cooked breakfast but you get what you need in your apartment everyday to make you own breakfast. Without doubt your bed there was the most comfortable that you have ever slept in and all at a very reasonable price.

Chicago is a city that has an interesting past and an exciting future. There are so many things to see and do that two weeks would not be too much to spend here.But no matter how many days you have you will be able to fill them with fun and fascinating things to do.
