Chicago Favorites: Architectural Boat Cruise

For our annual Birthday Week, my two best friends came to visit Chicago for the first time! We had a blast! (We can have a blast anywhere) It was fun to get to explore more of Chicago with them. We bought a Chicago Go Card which allows you access to 28 different attractions for one price. Being the cheapos we are, we packed our day from morning to night with as many activities as we could get in. By far my very favorite tourist attraction was the architectural boat cruise at sunset. It was absolutely beautiful cruising down the Chicago River seeing the beautiful buildings as the sunset and then seeing the buildings light up at night. It was also very interesting to hear the inspiration and vision behind many of the designs of the buildings and even get to see where Al Capone once lived. I highly recommend it to visitors though it is pretty steep in price if you do not get the go-card. Also, definitely go at sunset!
