When attending an event, people will want to capture the moments in photos as they explore the host destination. In Chicago, there are several great Instagrammable spots at which planners can incorporate a stop or for attendees to explore on their own between meetings.
See the historic Begin Route 66 sign in downtown Chicago, which marks the start of the fabled highway that stretches from Chicago to Los Angeles, California. The sign is located on East Adams Street just west of its intersection with Michigan Avenue, directly in front of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Get sky-high shots with a visit to The Ledge, a glass-enclosed balcony on the 103rd floor of Chicago’s Willis Tower that extends 4 feet beyond the tower’s walls. Photographs taken here will feature sprawling views of much of the city and Lake Michigan.
Grab a bite and a photo at Chicago’s 2d Restaurant. It will feel like you’re stepping into a comic book as the restaurant’s interior is entirely hand-painted in black and white by local artist Mia Larson. There are 3D elements depicting sites in Paris, including the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, sprinkled throughout the artwork that really brings it to life.
For mural lovers, stop by Joe Miller’s “Drip It Like It’s Dot” mural on Chicago’s Randolph Street. Full of brightly colored dots in the shape of multiple layered circles, it’s sure to make any photo op pop.
