Tour Description: Tall commercial buildings have been a fixture of the Chicago skyline since the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. If you're downtown, you can pretty much look up and be sure that you're looking at a building with a pedigree and a story to tell. By no means an exhuastive list, we have put together a selection of some that we think are not to be missed. From the unusual (Marina City) to the referential (Tribune Tower) to the simply stunning (Jay Pritzger Pavilion), this is a walking tour that will immerse you in history and architecture. Also be sure to visit Chicago’s Field Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry which includes a display of a WW2 Stuka.

The tour begins by the Chicago River opposite Marina City, on E. Wacker Drive near Wabash.
