Millennials Guide to Chicago

Millennials are often travel-bound, but it’s hard to nail you down on your plans. As HipMunk points out, Mills like to book last-minute travel and are likely to snag deals on a whim. If you’re looking for a place to spend your next spontaneous getaway, Chi-Town deserves a place on the top of your short list. There are tons of hotels and great food, and the city has a character you can’t deny.

North Avenue Beach House, Chicago

With over 6.5 million visitors a year, North Avenue Beach is Chicago’s busiest. It’s no wonder why — the wide, sandy shore and outlook are perfect for gazing at the clear, blue waters of Lake Michigan. North Avenue Beach also plays host to professional beach volleyball tournaments, as well as the annual Chicago Air and Water show. Even in the winter time the beach is worth a visit, as its vantage point provides one of the best views of downtown Chicago.

Visit Milwaukee Wisconsin
