Walk in Chicago # 1: the river and the center of The Loop

This self-guided walk is my favorite walk to introduce newcomers to the city: it dives right into the Loop vibe as you get off the subway, runs along what is arguably the most beautiful part of the river, explore a small museum full of information on the movable bridges and the history of the city, then move on to the entertainment and business districts with their stunning 1920s buildings and their monumental sculptures.

NB: if you have not already done so on another site, you can read the philosophy and general content of this itinerary by opening the “About the walks” link above or below.
