#Chicago is one of the best cities you can visit during the holidays. Here are our favorite things to do to enjoy this magical season:
1. Christkindl Market – If you only have a few hours to spear in Chicago during the holiday season, come straight to Daley Plaza to experience one of the most amazing holiday market in the US. To avoid the crowds, visit during working hours Monday to Friday.
2. Michigan Avenue & Downtown Stroll – Enjoy the décor and window displays starting by taking a selfie by the beautiful Christmas tree at the old Chicago Water Tower. Make your way up, stopping by Eataly (which is beautifully decorated), enjoy the decorations around the Wrigley Building and the bridge, and finally check out the stores around State Street.
3. Macy’s and the Walnut Room: One of the most classic places to enjoy a holiday lunch is at the Walnut Room. Make sure to get the famous pot pie and the yule log for dessert. It’s advisable to make a reservation weeks or even months in advance.
4. Ice Skating at Millenium Park or Maggie Daley – Polish your skating skills by the ice skating right facing the iconic “Bean” or Cloud Gate. Or head to Maggie Daley Park to skate at the Skating Ribbon.
5. CTA Holiday Train or Bus – Check out the CTA Website to see where you can catch the closest CTA holiday train, a longtime Chicago tradition.
6. Zoo Lights – Enjoy a free celebration of lights and holiday music right in the heart of the city. Stroll along with a cup of hot chocolate or spiced wine, take pictures of the ice sculpting or pay a visit to Santa.
7. Theme Restaurants and Pop-ups: In recent years, a lot of local restaurants are going all out for the holidays fighting for the title of the most Instagrammable venue. This includes The Sixth, Casey Morans, Santa baby Bar, Christmas Club and Home Slice.
8. Christmas around the world at the Museum of Science and Industry: If you need to pick one museum to visit during the holidays, make it this one. They have over 50 trees and beautiful displays.
9. Hot chocolate and Donuts at Dinkel’s Bakery: There are plenty of good places for this in Chicago, one of the most popular ones being Bombo Bar. But we like Dinkel’s, a German bakery that has been around for over 100 years.
10. Curling: For a few years now, this has become one of the most popular activities to enjoy during the holidays. And Whiskey Business is one of the best places to do it.
