Things to do
Amazing art all over downtown Chicago
You won't have to stray far from your downtown Chicago vacation rental to find awe-inspiring attractions. The Loop district is renowned for its eclectic public art installations, from Anish Kapoor's giant, bean-shaped steel sculpture, to Marc Chagall's surrealistic Four Seasons mosaic. For more masterpieces than you could ever hope to admire in a single sitting, head to the Art Institute of Chicago. One of the most prestigious museums in the United States, it's home to priceless works by the likes of Picasso, Edward Hopper, and Andy Warhol. For unbeatable panoramic views of the city, head up to the Skydeck of the vertigo-inducing Sears Tower.

Vibrant seasons in downtown Chicago
Chicago's climate is characterized by contrasts. Summer days tend to be long, hot and sunny, with humidity sometimes making things a little uncomfortable outside. June to August marks the city's peak visitor season, so downtown Chicago vacation rentals are naturally in high demand at this time of year. Fall can be a lovely time to visit, with milder temperatures and fewer out-of-towners jostling to see all the top sights. Spring weather is also usually pleasantly moderate, but rainfall in April and May can be high. Winters can be bitingly cold, with plenty of snowfall, so be sure to wrap up warm.
