The great city of Chicago is beautifully located by Lake Michigan and in this modern city, urban Eastern USA meets the vast prairies that start immediately to the west of the city. Chicago has a great variety of cultural activities, beautiful museums, restaurants and - typical for America - great shopping possibilities, but other recreational activities and entertainments are also plentiful. Lake Michigan runs alongside the city centre and offers boat trips, picturesque walks and a range of activities in the area around the Navy Pier
