The city of Chicago is not only known for its Magnificent Mile, museums, shopping, dining and history – but, also, for its culture - a city with neighborhoods that make you feel as if you're actually stepping into another country. The cultural attractions in Chicago are numerous, and are scattered throughout the city. Chicago coach tours give you the means to explore each of their magic and history. You can travel from Chinatown to Greektown; Little Italy to Little India or Little Village and back again in the luxury of your own charter bus. Bring your friends, family or co-workers along to share in the discovery of other cultures' food, drink, design and trade.
Chicago's Chinatown is the second largest American Chinatown in the US. There is a large number of Chinese people that actually live and work there. It is home to cultural performances in the plaza and Chinese architecture that includes pagodas, the Chinatown Gate and the Nine Dragon Wall (which is only one of three outside of China). You can visit the bronze zodiac statues or shop for Chinese trinkets and good luck bamboo plants along the streets of Chinatown. And, of course, you can eat very well there.
In August, Greektown celebrates the Taste of Greece Festival. You can also visit folk and textile exhibits anytime of the year, along with The National Hellenic Museum. Grab some saganaki (fried cheese) and spanakopita (spinach pie) while perusing the bakeries and candle shops.
As you can imagine, Little Italy has an abundance of dining choices. It's also home to the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame where you can see Rocky Marciano's 1952 championship belt and Mario Andretti's race car. This is just another cultural attraction in Chicago that can be reached by Chicago coach tours from Executive Coach of Chicago.
We would recommend that you not forget Little India in your tour because you will find yourself immersed in all things Indian – the people, food, silk and diamonds are just to name a few. This town is filled with shoppers of all nationalities.
While Little Village Mexico will welcome you with a greeting, "Bienvenidos a La Villita", it also offers 70 Mexican restaurants, candy stores, bakeries and shops with Mexican-style clothing and accessories.
All of these cultural neighborhoods in Chicago are welcoming and full of art, history, architecture, cuisine and shopping. The best way to see all of these areas is in the comfort of your own Chicago coach tour from Executive Coach of Chicago. By scheduling this journey, you will have a stress-free, comfortable ride that allows you to let go and find yourself in another land far away – brought right to your doorstep.
