The City of Chicago
Windy City
Chicago is the one of the largest cities in the United States of America. It’s situated on the south-west side of Lake Michigan where the river with the same name flows into the lake. It is lovingly called the Windy city; its picturesque parks stretched along the lake are the main landmarks of this outstanding city. In Chicago you can see how modern business centers with huge skyscrapers live in harmony with residential buildings of the 19th century.
Parks of Chicago
Lake Michigan is the only one of five Great Lakes that is located completely on the territory of the United States. All others are situated on the territory of Canada as well as the USA. Lake Michigan supplies Chicago and its suburbs with fresh water. All famous city parks are stretched along the beautiful Lakefront Trail. What are they?

- Millennium Park is considered to be a part of Grant Park; however, it looks more like a recreational area. It was opened not so long ago, in 2004. One of the most famous landmarks of Chicago is located in Millennium Park. The name if this structure is Cloud Gate; simply put, it looks like a large mirror-like bean and annually attracts many tourists with its unique appearance.
- Maggie Daley Park located on the shoreline of Chicago has been turned into an entertainment center with a climbing wall, skating ribbon, play garden for children under the age of 12, tennis courts and some other activities. If you enjoy picnics there are picnic groves in the park.
