On the corner of Michigan Avenue and Randolph street, make sure you check out the Chicago Cultural Center for the stunning interior alone (the largest Tiffany stained-glass dome in the world is so worth it!). Cross through Grant Park and visit the Buckingham Fountain before heading south to the amazing Museum Campus, home to the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, and Adler Planetarium.
