If you haven’t visited this amazing city yet, you need too bc Chicago is a city that never runs out of attractions and the city is beautiful all year long
No one except for people who were told (local newscasters) refer to the Sears Tower as the Willis Tower. No matter how much someone spends to rename, it will always be the Sears Tower to anyone who lives in Chicago.
The Museum of Science and Industry is such a treasure. All of the museums in Chicago are amazing, but the Science & Art Institute are the best ones imo.
Chicago has a lot to offer and a lot of cool neighborhoods to explore. It’s best to be seen on foot. But if you’re by the lake then I recommend renting a bike.
When they zoom up on the McCormick bridge, I was so confused because they show it from the opposite side. Makes it look like the buildings changed over time, but they didn't...it was just the view.
That's a *good* thing. If the building didn't flex with those forces the materials would have to absorb that energy instead, which would lead to more stress and fatigue over time. Buildings moving in response to forces on them is a very good thing, when they do so within design parameters.
What about the Chicago art museum downtown, the jewelry shops, or some of the great restaurants around Hyde Park? Come on Nat. Geo. You could have done a lot better.
Just dont go to the south except hyde park and most of the west side but go to oak park and river Forest (they are right next to chicago) they have famous frank loyd wright homes if you are interested in architecture.
You sound so stupid. I'm guessing you have never been to Chicago and if you have, have not stepped foot past the South loop. Any real Chicagoan knows the true heart and soul of the City is on the South Side. Many interesting neighborhoods and decent places to visit that aren't overrun by crime.
You ever been to Bridgeport? Canaryville? Pilsen? Chinatown? Mt. Greenwood? It's obvious you haven't. The Southside of the City is a huge place with bad areas and decent areas. Don't @ me bout this boss, I know you've seen a Vice documentary and got it all figured out
@@PinchTheBarb Clearly these people have NEVER been to Chicago are are scared by what they "heard" the South Side is beautiful. So much culture and so much to see.
@Dogifish its almost like all that gun control bs like the city banning handguns totally didnt convince the gangs and scumbags to not commit anymore crimes and turn in all their weapons.
@@zezinharias shame the gov won't smarten up and just legalize weed, tax it and use the money for things like the boys and girls club so kids won't only have gangstas as role models in the poor areas, stop the gangs from recruiting the next generation
@@therambler3713 yeah well I guess that can be said about every major city though... I mean I'm from germany so really I don't know but I read and heard about the crime rate being over the average.. One of my former teachers grew up in Chicago
@@lobolopez3702 Maybe, but I live in Cape Town and frankly you haven't lived here long enough if you haven't experienced a major crime. I was fortunate enough to never be directly involved so I've only seen my neighbors house cleaned out and then witnessed a hijacking right in front of me. And I live in a pretty good neighborhood btw.
Chicago has a lot of good qualities but it’s a Midwest city with an egregious number of homicides and is choking under the weight of decades old corrupt politics. The bells and whistles do nothing but reinforce the city’s lack of cultural relevance and sense of identity within the American fabric. Boston is the true “second city” and after that LA and Las Vegas. Chicago could reinvent itself by electing a Republican mayor, lowering taxes, solving the crime problems, building new and affordable apartments, and rerouting its traffic away from the shore line. The competition among cities is becoming fierce and gimmicks like the bean and endless tourist attractions simply reinforce the idea that people just come and go, that Chicago is a city without a soul.
There's many points you made that are easy to disagree with but it is clear that you are clueless about politics. No republican would ever lower taxes on those who actually need tax cuts, and by that I mean the middle class and the poor. Educate yourself

I love here and I've only ever know it as Willis tower
It's dumb to rename a building based on who gives it the most money. Same with John Hancock.
@@alp6502 it’s Sears tower
@@frankcamera1234 I know blame that lack of knowable on pbskids

I ❤️ Chicago ...

Thank you for not mentioning the bean
GDPanda *Cloud Gate
How historic is that?
I love the bean
Why would they? It’s only been around for 15 years. Grant Park on the other hand has been around since 1901
only tourists call it cloud gate
the sears tower.
also known as.. uh nope.
Willis Tower
R. Karunakaran *sears tower
I've only ever called it willis tower and I've lived here since birth
We have one of the best cities in the world. Period.
I love the Museum of Science and Industry.
i spent all day there its massive
Its always fun
Truly a beautiful city
I would like to visit Chicago
Its great all year around make sure to visit devon avenue!
Mahinda Githaiga you should, it’s beautiful
There are 3 different Chicago's most tourist just stick to downtown.
@@eduardorodriguez4899 thanks hopefully the opportunity will come
bulls on parade New York would cringe at the thought of being called "way better".
I've lived in both, I disagree.
*I'll have my day off there..*

Every city/country should have a Historical Map Tour! So cool!
It is a lovely spot to visit, great history.

That bartender's hands looked so strangely wet just to put on a piece of cilantro or parsley or whatever.
Nice video 👍
Good vidéo .
i was in Chicago last summer i went in or drove by all these places
Awesome
A fantastic city to visit👌🏿
Wonderful 👍
I love Chicago
2:23😍😍
😨😨
Beautiful city 💜
beautiful city see you soon.
I love Chicago!
"Walnut Room" in the Sears Tower was AWESOME!!!!
sarah d the original is at the Macy’s in State St. :)
Hey, i'm visiting Chicago now! Thanks for the tips, NatGeo! 🤓
Oof. It's better when it's warmer. But hope you enjoy anyway.
The 103rd floor SWAYS??! up to 6 in.! I'm scared.
That's a *good* thing. If the building didn't flex with those forces the materials would have to absorb that energy instead, which would lead to more stress and fatigue over time. Buildings moving in response to forces on them is a very good thing, when they do so within design parameters.
@@jadefalcon001 I think I remember hearing that in school, Maybe I'll be able to face that fear one day now, Thanks!
Looks better than I thought
Cidade sensacional
Went to Chicago open ait. Went to unos. Went to navy pier. That was the whole day
I ❤ chicago
I would suggest to go in summer. Its rather bleak in winter
Super !!!
Superb 🇮🇳
🐇Love my City 💖🌃💖
I missed Chicago
What about the Chicago art museum downtown, the jewelry shops, or some of the great restaurants around Hyde Park? Come on Nat. Geo. You could have done a lot better.
And a lot of attractions in Chicago are free as well like the bean and Lincoln park zoo :)
Nice scene and history OwenG lab rat ❤️🇯🇲
No mention of Fort Dearborn?
Maria Callas like Madame Butterfly in Chicago. Greek artist of music
wow
Bless up Chicago ! Greetings A&E peace and respect for you great job 🍀 cheech and chong things are tough all over -80 😵😷
I am from Chicago.
Iwant to go there in one time in my life
Just dont go to the south except hyde park and most of the west side but go to oak park and river Forest (they are right next to chicago) they have famous frank loyd wright homes if you are interested in architecture.
So what u really saying is don't visit the BLACK PPL PARTS OF THE CITY
TYPICAL
Chicago > New York
in crimes. Ultimately both are democrat colonies.
@bulls on parade there equal to my opinion
Just don't go to the South side!

Bookie99 my mom and little sister were killed by those saveges in the south side 😠
@@PinchTheBarb Are you living in mars? South side is the killing field. It is the democrat colony.
You ever been to Bridgeport? Canaryville? Pilsen? Chinatown? Mt. Greenwood? It's obvious you haven't. The Southside of the City is a huge place with bad areas and decent areas. Don't @ me bout this boss, I know you've seen a Vice documentary and got it all figured out
@@PinchTheBarb Clearly these people have NEVER been to Chicago are are scared by what they "heard" the South Side is beautiful. So much culture and so much to see.
You forgot the historic parts of South side
No one talks about the south side except hyde Park
Chicago is very expensive city...
2:15 I think you mean "Western" hemisphere
SERIOUSLY! Where do they come up with Northern anyways?
So that's where Michael Bay corrupted so many building.
Windy City
Chi town
Chi raq
I have OCD and I don’t wanna make the likes uneven so I’m not liking or disliking.
This is just the downtown part. You really have to get into the city to feel the culture.
@Dogifish its almost like all that gun control bs like the city banning handguns totally didnt convince the gangs and scumbags to not commit anymore crimes and turn in all their weapons.
@@NekoWinters all you have to do is mention the word "crime" and gun lunatics come running.
I DONT WANT TO BE SHOT SO I DONT WANT TO VISIT CHICAGO ALREADY
@@zezinharias shame the gov won't smarten up and just legalize weed, tax it and use the money for things like the boys and girls club so kids won't only have gangstas as role models in the poor areas, stop the gangs from recruiting the next generation
Like Napoleón
Pretty sure it is not 2nd tallest in the northern Hemisphere.
A city enriched by "diversity".
What ABOUT CHINa TOWN why
Go for the attractions, stay because you were carjacked or shot or both.
Its only fun in the summer. Take it from a local
It also has enough crime to keep travellers away for years...
Really it depends on where you live and where you go. I have friends that have lived there for 20 years without once experiencing any serious crime
@@therambler3713 yeah well I guess that can be said about every major city though... I mean I'm from germany so really I don't know but I read and heard about the crime rate being over the average.. One of my former teachers grew up in Chicago

Dont just fallow the propaganda its not as bad as they make it sound bettet then new york
@@therambler3713 They are probably the ones causing the crime
No way no how! I value my life!

Where's the history of the hood lol
