| The Chicago Riverwalk, a
unique waterfront attraction that enhances the vitality of downtown Chicago and the
Chicago River, is located in the heart of the downtown area. The Riverwalk provides a
unique opportunity to absorb the sights and sounds of the city.
An interesting characteristic of the river
is the world-renowned Chicago bridge system with 37 moveable bridges. Each summer, the
eleven bridges over the main branch of the Chicago River are dramatically lighted with
changing patterns and effects designed to enhance the magnificent architecture at river's
edge.
Experience the Riverwalk cafes, featuring
fine outdoor dining. And enjoy the myriad of summer events and cultural programming
planned along the river. Outstanding hotels are located along the river. Come for dinner
and stay for the weekend.
Located along the Chicago River between
Wabash Avenue and Wells Street, the Riverwalk is easy to reach from the Loop and River
North.
And, finally, on the shores of Lake
Michigan, you'll find the world renowned Navy Pier, which houses Chicago's famous
Shakespeare Theater, a Children's Museum and a multitude of shops, restaurants and other
attractions including a "viewing wheel" from which to survey Chicago's
magnificent skyline.
