Fast-paced and packed from day to night best describe the shopping districts. Just as lively, Chicago’s top sights bustle with activity – ice skating in Millennium Park, sightseeing through Lincoln Park Zoo, playing at Navy Pier, and more. Unwind at a leisurely pace at a luxurious spa, sip tea near a cozy fireplace, or lounge about with the stellar skyline in view and cocktails in hand. The season is ripe for arts and culture as well. Immerse yourself in the vibrant theater scene, explore museums and galleries of every variety, and take in sensational performances – from live music to comedy, dance, and opera.

You can find Studio apartments as low as $1100 per month, though there are of course more expensive options the closer you are to the heart of the city, and the larger the apartment.
