Chicago - Day Trips

Flee the hustle and bustle of the city for the tranquillity and attractions of the suburbs. Most are less than an hour from the Loop.

Visit the homes of literary and architectural giants in Oak Park. Venture further west to Cantigny for a round of golf. Follow the winding roads in a rental car along the lakeshore past the mansions of Lake County. Allow a day to discover that Milwaukee (about two hours from the Loop) has more to offer than just beer. See St Charles, the little riverside town that is such a joy to antiques hunters and boutique shoppers.
