Big Bus Tour Chicago highlights

• 875 N. Michigan and 360 Chicago - if you want the best view of the city, you’re going to have to go up high. There's no better way to do it than the open-air SkyWalk. If you’re feeling brave, you could even check out Tilt - a segment of the building that’s tilted over the city at a 30° angle. Your bravery will be rewarded with a commanding view of the Magnificent Mile from 1,000 feet up. Probably not one for those scared of heights.
• Willis Tower and SkyDeck - some say Willis Tower gives you the better view of Chicago - it is the second-highest building in the Western Hemisphere after all. On the 103rd floor, you'll find The Ledge - a series of glass bays that jut out of the building so you can see the city right beneath your feet.
• Adler Planetarium - this planetarium is built on what was once an artificial island on Lake Michigan that now has a permanent land link to the city. But, you’re probably more interested in what’s going on above than below. And that’s a lot, because there are three planetariums to choose from to get the best view of the stars and planets along with exhibitions about space exploration.
• Millennium Park - this 24.5 acre green space in the heart of the city is a must-see for visitors. A former industrial wasteland, it’s now a hub for cultural events and family gatherings. It’s also home to the famous bean, so get your phones ready for that all-important selfie.
