Overview
Head to Chicago’s famous Michigan Avenue and enjoy a walking tour to remember! On the Magnificent Mile Architecture Walking Tour, you’ll be treated to lakefront views, bougie stores, and–of course–fascinating architecture.
Your guide will share stories and insider info on everything skyscraper and building-related. Soak up all the history about Chicago’s role in shaping modern architecture while marvelling at beautiful examples of Art Deco, Commercial style (also known as the Chicago style), Gothic, Beaux-Arts, and more. Even the brand exteriors are stunning such as the stainless steel Burberry store and the country’s largest Starbucks!
Discover how the Chicago School laid the foundation for the modern skyscraper and see how each building radiates architectural innovation. Flaunt your stuff and strut down Rush and Oak Streets, window shopping your way past bougie brands like Cartier, Aritzia, and Porshce.
Your tour ends at the base of the former John Hancock Center where you’ll get the inside scoop on its bold design and groundbreaking engineering.
