Chicago is not for nothing known around the world as a city of skyscrapers, because it was here in the late 19th century that the world's first skyscraper was built and a new architectural style was born - the Chicago School of Architecture. During this tour you will see the first skyscrapers that still adorn our city, the site of the first skyscraper in the world and other buildings of various times and architectural styles, including the supermodern structures of Adrian Smith and Ricard Boffil. You will also hear fascinating stories of their construction and the story of the extraordinary people who created these masterpieces of world architecture.

We will visit the oldest hotel in the city and you will learn the unusual love story of its owners. I will tell you about the “king of Chicago,” Al Capone, and show you where he ruled his empire. You will also learn about his successors and understand why Chicago is considered a city of gangsters. You will see the magnificent mosaic of Tiffany, sculptures of Chagall, Picasso, Miro, Calder and Dubuffe.

This tour is ideal for those guests of the city who are not here for the first time, but want to hear something new and interesting, and this tour will be interesting to the locals themselves.
