Posted  15 months ago  in  Trending

2 MIN READ – Chicago has been named the Best Big City in the U.S. for the seventh straight year by Condé Nast Traveler through their annual Readers’ Choice Awards. This award, which is voted on by Condé Nast Traveler readers, has been bestowed on Chicago every year since 2017 and is a momentous achievement and a true testament to the enduring allure of our beautiful and dynamic city.


Over 520,000 travelers from around the world cast their votes and once again crowned Chicago as the nation’s Best Big City.

We usually have a lot to brag about, but we'll let the words of CN Traveler speak for us:

"It's no wonder Chicago is topping this list yet again. A world-class destination known for its impressive architecture, first-rate museums, brilliant chefs, and massive brewing scene, it’ll take several repeat visits to get through your list of must-dos. Most people start downtown—from the Magnificent Mile to the ritzy Gold Coast to funky Old Town—but there are 77 neighborhoods to explore, where you'll find cutting-edge restaurants, chilled-out corner bars, and, no matter where you go, some of the most pleasant people you'll find anywhere."
