Holidays in South Shore

Bad idea — drunk texting ex bae at 2 a.m. Good idea — travelling. It’s time to quit making questionable life decisions and take a holiday in South Shore, Chicago! This vibrant city is home to around 2,700,000 people, as well as stacks of adventures to tick off your bucket list. South Shore is 14 kilometres to the south of the city centre. Want to know how to get there from Midway International Airport? Easy peasy. Hail a taxi, chuck your gear in the back and make your way east for 15 kilometres.

This city has no shortage of things to see and do, and you'll discover many of them near South Shore. It's no simple task to pick the leading sights here, but the University of Chicago and the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry are a couple you won't want to miss. You should also be sure to drop by the Illinois Institute of Technology and Robie House. While you're here, consider stopping by some other neighbourhoods to experience more of what Chicago has to offer. Jackson Park Highlands and Cheltenham are great recommendations that are close by.

No stay in Chicago would be complete without stopping at the Art Institute of Chicago. As far as iconic attractions go, it's up there with the best. It's just 0.3 kilometres from the centre of town.

If you're in the mood for discovering some highlights in the centre of the city, don't forget to include Navy Pier and the Lincoln Park Zoo. The Chicago Cultural Center and the Merchandise Mart are a couple more of the area's greatest draw cards.

Want to get a feel for the local culture? Go to the Nuclear Energy Sculpture and the Hyde Park Art Center.

Nothing quietens the mind and boosts your creativity like an afternoon in a gallery. Spark your curiosity as you study the impressive collections at the Smart Museum of Art and the Renaissance Society.

Look closely into the glass cabinets and learn about the objects on display as you walk through the engaging collections of the Museum of Science & Industry and the A. Philip Randolph Pullman Porter Museum.

One of the measures of an excellent performance is often how thunderous the applause is when the curtains go down. Watch the audience rise to their feet at the ETA Creative Arts Foundation and the Court Theatre.

Keep a lookout for native flora and fauna as you journey through the appealing landscapes of the Osaka Garden and Paul H. Douglas Nature Sanctuary.

Something unique about this suburb is its nearby green spaces. In the midst of all the activity, you won't struggle to find a place to take a short break. Chicago Washington Park, Midway Plaisance, Auburn Park and Jackson Park are some good options.

The Oriental Institute Museum, the DuSable Museum of African-American History, Obama's House and Hyde Park Hair Salon are bound to impress visitors with an interest in history. Do some research beforehand so you can really appreciate these interesting attractions.

Find out about the region's spiritual dimensions at Greater Salem Baptist Church, Rockefeller Memorial Chapel, Bond Chapel and the KAM Synagogue. These places are worth going to whether you're religious or not.

"The staff especially the Bell people were super nice and always offering help and smiles! We loved the walk ability and ease of public transportation. There are several great restaurants close as well. Older historic buildings are harder to maintain."
