When it comes to providing a plethora of shopping opportunities, one place that never disappoints is Chicago, Illinois. If you're hoping for the shopping trip of a lifetime, Chicago could be the next big destination for you, with fantastic shopping across the city as well as plenty of attractions and entertainments; even the fussiest of travellers will be kept happy.
If an upscale shopping trip is all you're looking for, you won't need to search much more once you've stumbled across the Magnificent Mile.
Aptly named, the Magnificent Mile is a section of Chicago's illustrious Michigan Avenue that is known for its prestigious shops, restaurants and hotels. With a tempting mixture of luxury product retailers, upscale department stores and fantastic tourist facilities, this area proves a tempting opportunity for those who love to shop. You'll discover stores like Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy's, Chanel, Prada, Givenchy and Tiffany's all within fantastically close quarters of one another - meaning you can shop where you want, without being constricted by having to travel too far between stores.
As if that wasn't enough, Chicago's famous State Street offers yet more fantastic opportunities for that retail therapy session you've been dreaming of, so influential that even Frank Sinatra sang about it!
Referring to it as 'that great street', State Street is a largely pedestrianised locale with many companies choosing it to house their flagship stores, including Borders books, Old Navy, Urban Outfitter and many more. Though now not as popular as the Magnificent Mile, State Street is still a favourite with locals who love to shop and houses many distinctive landmarks that make the street instantly recognisable - including the Original Playboy Mansion.
You can also head Downtown, which lies adjacent to the Magnificent Mile, to enjoy a variety of shops, restaurants and bars - the latter of which you may enjoy putting your feet up in and relaxing after a hard day of shopping. After all, spending the day on your feet is no mean feat - which is why you can be sure you'll enjoy resting in the well-equipped
hotels in Chicago after a long day.
That way, you'll wake up bright and feeling refreshed after a comfortable night's sleep - ready for another day of hitting all those stores on the Magnificent Mile and State Street that you missed on day one!
