Chicago really is the greatest city on earth! And Chicago really has two downtown's. The section south of the main branch of the river where the famous Loop is which holds the Financial and theater districts, Shopping, theaters and cultural places on State Street including the famous State Street Macy's store with it's Tiffany domes, atrium's, fountain and Walnut room. Then we have Jewelers Row, All the Metra Terminals that surround it over and under the city. All the CTA El trains and Subway lines converge there plus Millennium Park and the Museum Campus, Northerly Island and Soldier Field. Plus many of the world tallest towers and underground roadways. The Pedway. The River walk and outdoor art sculptures. And LaSalle Street known as the canyon due to all the buildings in the Finance District exchanges more money than any place in the world including Wall street. Plus the many different draw bridges. Then the section north of the River's main branch has Michigan Avenue (Magnificent Mile) worlds best shopping street plus Oak Street VERY exclusive shopping. The night life of Rush and Division Streets, River North Art District and Furniture districts, Restaurant Row/District and the Gold Coast plus more super tall towers every where. And Navy Pier! Plus more beautiful beaches and lakefronts on both parts of Downtown . Take a great boat tour on the river/lake or one of the cool bus tours. Go to Navy Pier or Millennium Park or to the observatory at either the Willis or Hancock towers. Go to one of the many world class museums or theaters or to Lincoln Park Zoo. Shop on the Magnificent Mile "Michigan Avenue"or Oak Street in the Gold Coast or State Street in the Loop or maybe Jewelers Row on Wabash in the Loop. Take an El train or Subway ride. Walk the River walk or along the Lake or hang out at one of the many beaches. Go to an art gallery in the River North Art District. I love great architecture so Chicago is perfect for that plus I love that is has many of the worlds tallest towers. And I love trains and Chicago has a huge mix of different kinds of trains all over! Best worlds best food, shopping, museums, parks, theaters, etc

Literally just got back from Chicago three hours ago. Wish this video was published before my trip!

Hey Sonia, hope you had a good weekend. Just thought we would pop over again and see what you have been. You really must do more we love your videos. Love skating, this is a totally cool place thanks for sharing your experience with us. Stay safe and catch up again soon God bless you 👍❤️🙏

Love it -- Chicago is one of my favorite cities! Another fun thing to do -- rent Divvy bikes (they're stationed all over the city) and take a ride along Lakefront Trail (particularly between the Navy Pier and Grant Park). Such beautiful views of the city and waterfront!

Thanks Sonia for taking the time to respond to my comment. I will definitely be on the look out for that video. And once again thank you for sharing your world :)

Worlds best city!

Oh and of course my cousin has plans for her wedding guests to have Chicago dogs and pizza as a welcoming dinner. Can't wait.

Im planning on doing Chicago this summer and this was just what I needed! Thanks SOniA :)

Please please please keep making videos like this!!! I remember the old days where the travel channel was like this, instead of what it is today. Sonia, keep the art of travel alive!! I hope to join you one day.

Living through you and your travels

I love this, please make this a continued series for other cities!!

You get a like for an awesome video, and a second secret like for visiting Chicago in the winter! Glad there wasn't feet of snow.

You have to try the deep dish pizza

glad that you enjoyed my city! Thanks for showing me a couple of places that I don't know about.

I wish you would do a "How to survive layovers" I leave in 13 days! So it would really help me out! Thanks Sonia. Always enjoy your videos!

Sonia your shows are awesome,fantastic and adventures. I love to watch your shows. Thanks madam sonia

I loved this video, your style, your mood :) Love Chicago!

Please do more of these!

I just got back from NY "Big Apple" month ago and plan on going to visit Chicago in the Fall :)

Sonia! Me encanta este nuevo formato de experiencias de viaje!!! Saludos de una venezolana en Madrid! Sonia Gil

I am heading to Chicago next week! First time too, I will be driving Route 66, starting in Chicago(!) and filming it on my GoPro for my channel. I will try to spend a day in the city and pack as much into it as possible.

Very beautiful video thanks

Great video !!!

Keep up the appetite Sonia! :)

love the editing when you were at the museum!

love it im in love with this great city

It would be cool to see more of these trips. I recommend visiting Atlanta. The largest aquarium in the western hemisphere is there. World of CocaCola is there too. Olympic Park, shopping in Buckhead. If you like biking, the Silver Comet Trail starts across the river in Cobb County.

like the style of editing

:( you should've done a meet n greet!!! Lol to prepare for chicago. You'll never know how the weather will be. Might be hot might be super cold rainy or sunny as hell lately lol. Love the video

I'm going in October!

I really like this style. I wish your videos were longer :)

/high 5 Sonia! I would love to see see Chicago.

That pizza hat is everything chicago stands for-Chicagoan

Love this. Thanks for the tips. I am actually going to Chicago for the first time in two weeks. My cousin is actually getting married at the Art Institute of Chicago. We will only have about a full day and half to possibly explore the city and I am so excited. In addition we are staying Palmer House Hilton hotel.

Next time, try an Italian beef from Portillo's. Check out Pilsen, Hyde Park, China town, and Lakeview neighborhoods.

I’m from Chicago!!!!!

I wish I looked like that when I wake up ;)

Sonia, I have a request. Can you make an updated version of your summer packing video? I was just wondering if anything you do has change since the last video. Thank you

Great video!!! Y QUE BOLAS EL HOT DOG!!!!

Foodie !!! :)

Star Wars Celebration 2019 brought me here

I’m planning a trip to Chicago that would be about a day or a bit more. Any tips? I live a little over 3 hours from the city.

You can't be Superdawg. Chicago is hype whoever is wanting to come and see this amazing city. (I live 20-30 minutes away from downtown and it's great!)

Love Chicago! There's more of the Midwest you need to check out.

Visited Chicago a months ago, in similar weather. It felt quite warm there for a Canadian person. BTW you didnt go to shakespeare theater not any jazz event. You missed out quite a bit of city. you should plan a revisit already.

FUUUUUEEEEEL UP MORREEEE LIKE TURRRRN UP BUT WITH FOOOOOD

Which camera do you guys use to shoot this with? Love the quality and hosting of course

to have life and travel non stop? I always talk about this on my blog

awesome video, glad you went out to Wicker Park instead of just staying downtown, too many Chicago travel vids focus on just downtown

same

What is the song starting at 2:34!?/ ARGH! Sooo good!

Hi S, So tell me ... is that the same red shirt you featured in " What Not to Pack " video ?

Great video but I'm a bit ambivalent, this looks more like the travel shows from travel Channel. I think I did not see your personality here. You looked like anthonybourdain . Hugs!

I have a question. Is it best to ride the train in Chicago or take a taxi? We are wanting to go from the airport to our hotel which is about 18 mi away, 30-60 mins depending. I looked and the train actually stops one block away from the hotel. Now my cousin's mom who has only been to Chicago once with her daughter who used to live there says taxi is better and only $11. I heard it is closer to around $50. Thanks for the help.

should I move to LA,NY or Chicago ? what do u think guys

Hi medem how r you please snowfall video

FIRST AGAIN WOOO

I need any tips anyone can give me. Im joining a work and travel program in the US for 5 months. Working for 4 months and travelling the remaining 1 month starting this december. Im planning on going from east coast to the west coast. Mass, NY, Illinois, Tennessee, Louisiana, maybe colorado/Utah, Nevada, Cali. Will I be able to do this in a month with limited budget? Tips! Please and thank you everyone :)

Cm punk would be proud

How is the weather in February?

You lost me at "Foie Gras".

You ate all that and didnt gain any weight?

Foie gras es una de las comidas mas crueles del mundo, nadie deberia consumir eso despues de ver el a los niveles que se lleva para conseguir esa materia prima.. Not Cool Sonia

very very cool Vlog, bravo... would love to hear your thoughts on my Vlogs... they take place in Chicago as well.

Ohhh sonia ! Qué hermosos son tus vídeos !! Pero esto ha sido hace mucho tiempo jaja (es que te sigo en Instagram). Deberías tener Snapchat. Un beso desde Perú.

Was a good video, but to have the word "tips" in the title is misleading. You just advertised for businesses and didn't mention stuff like The Cloud, Grants Park, JR Thompson Center, The Picasso. Keep it real!

Hey you know I was asking myself how many languages do you speak?? :-)

So he made the french toast without gloves? hmmm NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

you are punjabi??

To me this was mostly eating in Chicago video. She didn't do much of anything but eat.

Please don't encourage the eating of Foie Gras! Very cruel treatment to the ducks! Agreed! Not cool Sonia!

was loving this video until you started eating the foie grois :( such unnecessary cruelty

Too much video of eating: french toast, hot dog, and then seafood.

Man she needs some friends

All the stuff that I've seen about Chicago to do is for rich people. People like me, why isn't there a video for stuff you could do for free. Oh that's right we live in America nothing's free...

Br Hue Hue

Shame on her for eating foie gras.

I'm not in the mood for your face.

Foie gras :/
