Whether admiring the architecture, gorging yourself on the city’s unique food traditions or living out your perfect “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” Chicago has it all. Individual structures such as the Jewelers or Wrigley Buildings are distinct characters that flesh out the city’s skyline. Five distinct styles of pizza line the streets and stomachs of passersby. While doing all Ferris did in a day only happens with ’80s movie magic, there is enough to see while wandering through the busy streets of the Windy City.
