Chicago Map of Attractions, Tours and Neighborhoods

Chicago is a flat grid with a lake on one side and a river through the middle, which makes it one of the easiest big cities to read from a map. Museum Campus sits south of the Loop on its own lakefront spur. The Magnificent Mile runs north from the river. Wrigley Field is five miles up the Red Line and Hyde Park is seven miles down the Metra. This page puts every place on the site in one picture so you can group your days by geography instead of by list order.

Start here if you are still deciding where to stay. The embed below is the ordinary interactive map, useful for judging a hotel against a train line or working out whether two things are genuinely walkable. Downtown distances flatter themselves on paper: the Loop to Navy Pier looks short and takes twenty-five minutes on foot, and Museum Campus is further from the Bean than a map glance suggests.
