Chicago is known for its history, culture, architecture, and it's also full of many famous film locations. This tour is hinged on an idea to showcase the city's downtown via movies — an excellent experience for a movie buff!
You'll start exploring the Chicagoan cinematic scenery from the Union Station, a railroad station used as a backdrop for a whole bunch of motion pictures. Continue with the Willis Tower, a set for the “Divergent” movie that invites you to see an aerial view of the city from Skydeck, an observation deck on the 103rd floor.
Then, take a few selfies with Chicago's most notable public sculpture, the fabulous Cloud Gate, affectionately called “The Bean.” From there, come over to spacious Daley Plaza and contemplate a whimsical “Untitled” sculpture by Pablo Picasso, another iconic emblem of Chicago.
After that, you will pass by the Chicago Theater that conceals a stunning ornate architecture inside, outshining its punchy neon sign. Another eye-catcher on the route is the Seventeenth Church of Christ Scientist, a distinctive building in the area with a supernatural exterior.
Next, you will cross the bridge over the Chicago River to explore more buildings of concrete and glass that often get spotted in movies.
Downtown Docks is the place to chill at the end of the tour. Lay back at the wooden benches watching Marina City and the river cruises passing under the bridges.
