Neighborhoods of Chicago

& things to do and see in Chicago’s neighborhoods

What pops in your mind when you think of the neighborhoods of Chicago? maybe is conjures images of the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier, the Chinese architecture throughout Chinatown, or The Willis Tower and the Hancock Center.

No matter what you come up with, the truth is you can’t define Chicago’s identity with one thing. Not by a building, or by the scenic lakefront landscape.

Instead, I think Chicago’s character lies with its great and unique neighborhood settings, distinctive culture, and residents.
