Chicago is an iconic city. Home of the Cloud Gate Sculpture (or the Bean), a perfect place for some aesthetic, Instagram-worthy pictures; the Millennium Mile, a seemingly endless line of stores; and Navy Pier, a mall jutting out into the lake. And in addition to these sights, the windy city has so much that needs to be on every traveler’s to-do list.

Of course, the appearance of the city is the first thing that anyone notices driving up for the first time. And Chicago has a few places that one can get the full experience – from way up high. The 360 Observation Deck on top of the former John Hancock Center gives, you guessed it, a 360-degree view of the city. Vistas as far as the eye can see. And the Skydeck at Willis Tower gives a unique view from a glass box over 1,000 feet above the street.
