Tips / Destination

Chicago is home to many iconic landmarks. On your next visit, add these places to your list for perfect Instagrams.

 

Chicago O’Hare International Airport 

On your way to or from the city, walk through the airport’s art installation “Sky’s the Limit.” The overhead neon light piece is located in Terminal 1 in the walkway connecting Concourses B and C.

 

Deep-Dish Pizza

Everyone has their favorite place to nosh on the popular Chicago dish. Start with Pequod’s Pizza, Pete’s Pizza or Pizano’s Pizza for a shot of an authentic Chicago pie.

 

Flamingo Rum Club 

For a bright mural photo, stop by the Flamingo Rum Club. There are large flamingo murals located outside the Cuban restaurant, perfect for a colorful Insta.

 

Millennium Park

You may not immediately recognize the park by name, but you probably know its most popular landmark: “Cloud Gate” (also known as “the bean”). The large, stainless steel sculpture offers a reflective surface, ideal for a selfie.

 

Skydeck at the Willis Tower 

Towering on the building’s 103rd floor, the observatory extends more than four feet on a glass balcony outside the building for spectacular views of the entire city — as long as you aren’t afraid of heights.

 

Wrigley Field 

Home to the Chicago Cubs baseball team, the ballpark’s well-known marquee is a great spot for a photo op.
