Best known as the windy city, Chicago is the third largest city in the United States in terms of population and is located on the southwestern shores of Lake Michigan, bordering the Illinois-Indiana State Line.
Also known as the city with the swagger, Chicago is the home to some of the world’s most artistic cultures, such as the blues, the jazz and the theater.
