About Michigan Avenue

This is one of the most important locations in Chicago and has always attracted many visitors to come and enjoy the site. If you want to know what the American culture is all about, then Michigan Avenue is the right place to get to know the real ethos and pulse of the people. 

It's a multifaceted city and is therefore surrounded by many pubs, restaurants, museums, offices, cafes, and boutiques, etc. For some tourists, one day might not be enough to even scratch the outer layer of the Avenue. During Christmas, Michigan Avenue is decorated in green, red, and white, and gangs of Christmas carol singers surround the circle ready to bring cheer and joy during the holiday season.
