Whether you want to shop on Michigan Avenue, listen to blues on Lincoln Park or simply ride the El around The Loop, The Rough Guide to Chicago will help you all the way. The 16-page, full-colour section introduces all of the city’s highlights, from the spectacular city skyline to boat tours along the Chicago River, with two new, 4-page, full-colour inserts: ‘Chicago Food’ and ‘Chicago Architecture’. The guide includes a new ‘author pick’ section of the city’s top hotels and restaurants to suit every taste and budget plus, lively reviews of hundreds of shops, clubs and live-music venues. There are new chapters on Rogers Park, the Art Institute of Chicago and a re-worked list of art galleries. With maps and plans for the entire city this guidebook promises to help you to get the most from your trip.
