Why go
Few places explain Chicago's urban form so efficiently. From the sidewalks you can read the river, movable bridge engineering, early skyscrapers and newer towers together, then descend directly to the Riverwalk. Boats passing below add movement and scale to the scene.
What to look for
- Look north toward the Wrigley Building and Tribune Tower as architectural counterpoints.
- Study the bridge houses and relief panels before taking in the broader river view.
Useful to know
- Use the wider sidewalk corners for photographs without blocking through traffic.
- Pair the bridge with the Riverwalk below; stairs and ramps connect the two experiences.
