Looking for an American city break this autumn?

Look no further, the bright lights of Chicago could be just what you need to blow off the cobwebs.

Chicago is the biggest city of the Great Lakes region and has become a popular choice for a burst of  action in America’s Midwest.

Frank Sinatra sang about it being his kind of town and who are we to argue?

Chicago is just bursting with life and teeming with sports and culture.

Here you can while away the day in umpteen fascinating museums, explore the city’s impressive architecture and stop off for some fabulous nosh in one of the many restaurants.

No trip to Chicago would be complete without sampling the world famous deep dish pizza or spending an evening in one of the jazz and blues clubs that will keep you entertained into the wee small hours.
