Shopping and sightseeing come together at the Magnificent Mile, a wide boulevard in North Chicago officially known as Michigan Avenue and the heart of the city.
Chicago is the U.S.A.'s capital of architecture, and its Magnificent Mile is a perfect dressing window for it. Its actual name is North Michigan Avenue, which leads from Chicago River to Oak Street Beach, leading almost from the heart of Chicago towards the north, linking the Loop business district in the south to the Gold Coast area on Lake Michigan in the north. It was dubbed the Magnificent Mile, not only because the distance covered is roughly a mile, but also because Chicagoans are proud of their city and use superlatives to describe it. The nickname was given in the 1940s, and on it, you can find some of the tallest buildings of the entire USA, as well as many shops, restaurants, and remarkable and historically significant structures.
