Chicago is one of the few places that can boast of having some of the greatest shopping avenues in the world, and the premier shopping destination for visitors is Michigan Avenue and its surrounding area. Often referred to as the “Magnificent Mile” or the “Grand Avenue,” Michigan Avenue features world-class stores standing along tree-lined streets, bursting with flowers and stunning architectural facades. From glamorous fashion boutiques, to towering shopping centers, soothing day spas and a kids store featuring a man built from blocks, Michigan Avenue has it all.
