Experience the best of Chicago in just a day on this easy railroad adventure from Milwaukee. In less than 2 hours, you can be in the center of America’s third-biggest city, taking in bold architecture, famous landmarks, and maybe a slice of deep-dish pizza or 2.

Board the Amtrak in Milwaukee and head south along Lake Michigan. Spend the leisurely ride however you like: gaze blissfully out the window, take a short nap, or grab a bite of breakfast in the dining car. Before you know it, you’ve arrived in Chicago. From here, it’s up to you what you want to do in The Windy City. Board a hop-on hop-off bus and head for attractions like Adler Planetarium, Millennium Park, Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Navy Pier, and Magnificent Mile. On this truly customizable tour, the options for sightseeing are endless.

If you’ve never been to Chicago, don’t miss your chance to admire breathtaking views from the 103rd floor Skydeck of Willis Tower. A high-speed elevator takes you to the top at 1,600 feet (488 m) per minute. Look out into the distance for up to 50 miles, or stare down into the streets through the glass floor Ledge balcony.

Stop for a delightful lunch at the Hard Rock Café in the heart of Chicago’s vibrant River North neighborhood. Fuel up on the restaurant’s renowned burgers and fries before making your way back to Milwaukee.
