Dating in Chicago

Chicago has a lake as big as a sea, architecture people travel to see, and neighbourhoods that are nothing alike. Summers by the lake, winters at the museum.

First date ideas in Chicago

  • Millennium Park

    Meet at Cloud Gate (the Bean), then walk to the lake.

  • The Chicago Riverwalk

    A walk along the river beneath the towers, with patios in season.

  • The Lakefront Trail

    Walk or bike along Lake Michigan, with the city on one side and the horizon on the other.

  • The Art Institute of Chicago

    One of the country's great museums: a way to find out what moves the other person.
