Chicago, officially the City of Chicago, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Illinois, and the third most populous city in the United States, following New York City and Los Angeles. With a population of 2,746,388 in the 2020 census, it is also the most populous city in the Midwestern United States and the fifth most populous city in North America. Chicago is the county seat of Cook County, the second most populous county in the U.S., while a small portion of the city's O'Hare Airport also extends into DuPage County. Chicago is the principal city of the Chicago metropolitan area, defined as either the U.S. Census Bureau's metropolitan statistical area (9.6 million people) or the combined statistical area (almost 10 million residents), often called Chicagoland. It is one of the 40 largest urban areas in the world.
Chicago is an international hub for finance, culture, commerce, industry, education, technology, telecommunications, and transportation. It is the site of the creation of the first standardized futures contracts, issued by the Chicago Board of Trade, which today is part of the largest and most diverse derivatives market in the world, generating 20% of all volume in commodities and financial futures alone. O'Hare International Airport is routinely ranked among the world's top six busiest airports according to tracked data by the Airports Council International. The region also has the largest number of federal highways and is the nation's railroad hub. The Chicago area has one of the highest gross domestic products (GDP) in the world, generating $689 billion in 2018. The economy of Chicago is diverse, with no single industry employing more than 14% of the workforce. It is home to several Fortune 500 companies, including Allstate, Boeing, Caterpillar, Exelon, JLL, Kraft Heinz, McDonald's, Mondelez International, Sears, United Airlines Holdings, US Foods, and Walgreens.
Chicago's 58 million tourist visitors in 2018 set a new record, and Chicago has been voted the best large city in the U.S. for four years in a row by Condé Nast Traveler. The city was ranked first in the 2018 Time Out City Life Index, a global urban quality of life survey of 15,000 people in 32 cities, and was rated second most beautiful city in the world (after Prague) in 2021. Landmarks in the city include Millennium Park, Navy Pier, the Magnificent Mile, the Art Institute of Chicago, Museum Campus, the Willis (Sears) Tower, Grant Park, the Museum of Science and Industry, and Lincoln Park Zoo. Chicago is also home to the Barack Obama Presidential Center being built in Hyde Park on the city's South Side. Chicago's culture includes the visual arts, literature, film, theatre, comedy (especially improvisational comedy), food, and music, particularly jazz, blues, soul, hip-hop, gospel, and electronic dance music including house music. Of the area's many colleges and universities, the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of Illinois at Chicago are classified as "highest research" doctoral universities. Chicago has professional sports teams in each of the major professional leagues, including two Major League Baseball teams.

Oh Chicago is so gorgeous.
Chicago is such a beautiful city. So nice to be so close to it
Downtown Chicago is simply amazing.
Beautiful! Usually the expressways are packed. You picked a nice lucky day free of awful traffic
Clean roads and high visibility, these are what impress me most.....from Chicago, IL
Was in this city last week, my brother took me to visit his youngest son and to look around. First time went to the Museum when I was nine, WOW. Like going to a movie and seeing a city in a SIFI movie.
Damn, Chicago's downtown is BEAUTIFUL and puts my city (Philadelphia) downtown to shame. It's like a smaller less congested New York.
I’m from New York n live in Philadelphia now n yes Chicago is beautiful but center city in Philadelphia is very beautiful not sure why you say that I’m guessing that’s your opinion
@tratallere I was just being dramatic to make a point! As a Philadelphia native, I agree, Philly is beautiful!
I gotta say though Downtown Philly has a lot of potential.
@@pizzaearthpancakesandother2549Philadelphia seems like hell on earth and I'm not even American. Like jeez zombie drugs are crazy man
Philly mob legends 90s-90s
Not saying its positive but its big history man
And hey!!the Flyers 1970s-1988!!! Bro
Thats as big as the Montreal Canadians entertainment wise.
Beautiful city, enchanted. Beautiful footage, good choice of time, lighting, just perfect. At first, his videos allow us to travel from the comfort of home, but in fact they make us want to travel even more to discover these places. Great job. From Brazil.
And I’d really love to visit Brazil someday the most.
~From America with ❤.
What part of Brazil do you recommend me to visit?
Chicago is a city known for its tall buildings, skyscrapers, and incredible bridges. Downtown Chicago refers to the Central Area of Chicago, which is also sometimes called The Loop, and is comprised of 35 blocks. The Loop is famous for its urban vibe and dynamic architecture
great description👍
Someone learned how to copy n paste didn't they
Architecture? Hell yes. But baby what “bridges” are Chicago known for? I’ve been there plenty of times and cannot think of even one. 🤔
This had to be written by someone FROM Chicago because I promise no one outside of Chicago thinks this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks ChatGPT!
This is actually not accurate. So downtown is like 7-10 neighborhoods including the loop, mag mile, streeterville, new east side, south loop, west loop, river north, etc. The Loop is just one section of downtown. The whole downtown area, though, comprises the skyline and is about 8-10 square miles total.
Downtown Chicago looks like a combination of downtown Boston (my hometown) and New York City. Seems very beautiful and charming, I hope to visit one day. Thank you for this lovely video.
@NakedSnake8948 That’s awesome to hear. I hope you get the chance to visit one day. 🫶
Chicago is my favorite city in us
The skyscrapers that can be seen in the distance from the highway give me shivers... I felt the same emotions when I was in New York, I will also visit Chicago ❤
Amazing Chicago, im from Vietnam
Perfect timing: beat the traffic, and get great views of the city! Great video!
Sweet Home Chicago! Been living in Phoenix for almost 3 years now and nothing and nowhere compares to our 1st love of the Chi!!!
As a former resident of Sprawling Business Park, TX (aka Dallas/Ft. Worth) I am so impressed with cities like Chicago which have actual rhyme and reason to their skylines. Truly an American treasure of a city. Would love to see an updated version to showcase all the new buildings!
Getting skyscrapers approved is an extremely tenuous process for this reason. From residential views, to block lighting, to skyline aesthetic, zoning, and purpose, getting a skyscraper to the building phase is a seriously major undertaking. There are literal wikipedia articles filled with "unbuilt Chicago." It's definitely worth checking out.
Good city planning not only requires a lot of regulations but also regulations designed in a way so that they coalesce into a cohesive vision for a city. That is the trick. Chicago city planners were willing to work with those from around the world in order to make it work. This occurred in the wake of the Great Chicago Fire in the mid 1800s and is mostly responsible for how the city looks today!
Very nice to see the empty streets and appreciate the silence of the morning. Thank you.
He probably edited out the gunshots.
love from NYC
I grew up here, and go back every chance I get
Clean roads and high visibility.These are what impressme most....from Chicago, IL.
why did you feel the need to post the same comment twice from two different accounts?
So beautiful downtown driving 🥰🥰🥰 Love from Denmark 🇩🇰
hej
Gives me Watch Dogs vibes 💯
I just moved out of the south side to Arizona after living there my whole life...I really miss that cold ass place more than i thought i would
Loving all the content on your channel. It's always amazing! Thanks!
BEAUTIFUL CITY!
my favorite city i've ever seen, visited like 4 different times in my short life and It's just so breathtaking every time with so much to do and all kinds of different environments❤❤
I've been to a few places, and Chicago is the "biggest" and "fastest moving" feeling city I've ever visited. Even bigger and faster than New York in terms of feel. Chicago just seems soooo grand when you're downtown, that when you come back home to your city, it makes it seem like you live in the countriest place ever. It's all due their amazing architecture and layout. NYC is just a bunch of tall buildings packed tightly together, to the point you don't feel the grandeur of the buildings; it feels more cluttered than anything. When I was in NYC, it just seemed dirty, honestly. (I love NYC, 2nd favorite city in America, next to New Orleans, so no hate). Chicago has the river flowing through downtown, which allows you to see the buildings in their entirety. Also, downtown Chicago has the perfect sized streets, which also aids to the grandeur of the buildings. Outside of the downtown area of Chicago, it's not so pretty, in my opinion, but downtown Chicago is top two, and it ain't two!
New york is much bigger
London makes these cities look dirty and soul less
“NYC is my second favourite and New Orleans is my favourite... Chicago is top two and it ain’t two”
Huh?
@@Elguapo93, New Orleans is my favorite city I've ever visited.
Chicago's DOWNTOWN is top two, and it ain't two. Meaning, Chicago has the best DOWNTOWN I've seen.
You're not wrong about NYC....post-pandemic, it's a lot dirtier. I work in Midtown and see it every day.
My US favorite city
I love your Chicago Videos!
Me too!
Beautiful driving tour downtown Chicago 🥰😊
Amazing city very beautiful view thank you for sharing and have a nice day my friend 😍
beautiful skyscrapers so much. i like😍
Missing Chicago so much
Sempre belo USA. Tudo em suas cidades lindíssimas.
Thank you for posting this I'm even more homesick 😢
love Chicago too!
I love this cities architecture and landscape, despite the problems. Might want to go visit here someday.
Mason fan lol. You wish noob
Meanwhile check out my Chicago playlist. I have videos of the city life of the four different seasons
Mark H, ALL cities have problems.
@@thebabbler8867 Chicago problems never seem to get any better. As some one born and raised there for 25 years it’s disheartening. I eventually moved.
@@XavierMathewsEntertainment what are the problems
14:30 the car just disappeared 😱😱😱
Thats right i rewind it 5 times just to see that car disappear. It's a mystery!!
@@stahp66 Matrix fail?
Nothing better than driving down lake shore 😶🌫️
Wow very beautiful city. Love from Switzerland
Thanks
Does Chicago have a bad rap in Switzerland? It’s considered one of the most dangerous US cities which I think it unfair.
Sorry pls don’t come here your country is already ten time million better
@@hermeslein6614 I will come for tourism only. For tourism only Chicago is a great city. But just for a few days not to live in permanently.
@@private9948 wow I want to come to your country do they have free healtcare do you all live rich kind of lifestyle
One of my favorite cities in the US 😍
Same 😂
i don't know why i love this city so much
We are very excited and really like your creative ideas, made it enjoyable to watch and keep watching, hope you continue this great idea forever
Chicago looks great.
Chicago Freestyle would go perfectly with this drive
This is amazing! Thank you for reminding my good times in Chicago back in 2016!
Beautiful ambiance, so relaxing ride without much traffic.👍,
Even without much traffic, those idiots on the road were already pissing me off. Two cars within 10 minutes already drove through a red light, and another one switched lanes within 5 feet from the car in front on the highway. Relaxing my ass.
@@surgemaestro7355 fbrbrjdbbdbferbsjbyyby
@@surgemaestro7355 maybe you’d relax if you didn’t focus so much on that and actually enjoy the video
As an Indian, such road infrastructure and impressive architecture is just like a dream to me.
You should know that there is a city underneath too. Lower Wacker Drive… honestly, it’s an engineering marvel.
Very beautiful and clean city.
I'm happy to see Chicago City on this vedio
chicago is heavenly
Talk about perfect timing; I was just going to search for a Chicago video when your notification popped up!
Wow the best city,the best USA❤❤❤
The best city 🤗🇺🇸
If you got a shitty Mayor in Lori Lightfoot aka Beetlejuice
You mean New York City lol
For me the best city is Los Angeles
@@tratallere NYC and Chicago the real definitions of American cities. Too bad their policymakers are trash. So Miami and Austin it is!
@Lil Nnaji Rocker what about Los Angeles, Los Angeles is one of the best cities of the united states too
I absolutely love how you do the recap at the beginning showing what the video travels to.
This vlog is a work of art !
thanks andrew!!
Great Drive! Thank you for sharing this. Many Greetings :-)
Nice neat n clean advance city with greenry as well... a sight which i wished to sit in a car and see modern America...thanks a lot..
You're back! But u miss the beautiful summer
Talk about perfect timing! I'm currently waiting to see if I got a network engineer job in Chicago!
Beautiful city. I've always wanted to visit Chi-Town. They have some awesome museums and visit Millennium Park.
Of course, summer is the best time to go. Winters are too brutal.
Check out my Chicago playlist. I have different videos from the 4 seasons in Chicago
I would say fall is the best time to go!
As a former south side chicago resident, China town is so fucking cool dude I recommend you try out little village its like china town but Mexican just as great. Houses some of the best mexican food in the city imo.
I miss Chicago so much. Such a beautiful city
At minute 14:27 of the video, it's something I should be worried about. In the foreground the vehicle disappears but the car in the background is still in the image #fright
Thank you for taking me to your beautiful city
I Love Chicago 😍
Hello.
You know a lot better than I do in Chicago. The neatly processed video is so nice to see. I see and learn a lot.

Chicago still has that team
Exotic City !
Que linda Chicago com seu prédios gigantes
Best city in the world right here!
You are losing people with your statement. Why not saying one of the best? Chicago is definitely a nice city and the river that goes through it makes it unique as well.
@@badabing9233 I said what I said
@@mostwanted973 best at what?
Too boring with very limited freedom

Returning viewer here! Thanks for the super awesome upload! Awesome

Big thanks.
A love Chicago!
Thanks for the journey through Chicago: seems a little bit cold-inhuman, however a great metropolis
its like most US cities.
European cities are warmer. London + Paris etc
@@bassicuk1986 Yes, they have historical centers or downtowns which are more human
Absolute convenience driving in the U.S. unlike Europe.
for driving ok, but.....@@mm6461
It’s a case of it being a cloudy early morning around Christmas time. If you want to see Chicago at its best look up videos of it in the Summer during the day or at night!
Chicago is very good. so many cars trucks buses vans etc
The best city in the world 🎉
Amazing city!!!
I wanna visit Chicago some day, it looks really nice! ❤️
