Why Chicago?
Chicago, Illinois is one of America’s most beautiful cities, boasting over 33 sandy beaches along 26 miles of clear blue Lake Michigan coastline. The Windy City is alive during the summer with open air concerts, music festivals, outdoor water sports, biking trails, hopping nightlife, world class sports teams, beach volleyball and more. Chicago is one of America’s most affordable cities and nothing can beat the amount of free concerts, movies in the park and other city sponsored events during the summer. Getting around is easy too on the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) with ‘L’ trains and regular buses criss-crossing the city at a very cheap rate.
