Chicago is the largest midwestern city in the United States. Because of its size, Chicago offers both visitors and locals a variety of activities. If you are looking for something romantic to do in the city of Chicago, you have many options located from the North side, to downtown and the West Loop.
Spending a day with your partner in an intellectually stimulating environment can be extremely romantic. Chicago has many renowned and wonderful museums. Visit the Art Institute of Chicago to view some of the world's greatest paintings and sculptures. In 2009, the new modern wing of the Art Institute opened. On Thursdays evenings, the Institute offers free admission to the public. Although the Field Museum and the Adler Planetarium are a few miles walk away from the Art Institute, the walk along the shores of Lake Michigan can be very romantic in warmer months.
