I recently took this amazing fall trip to Illinois. If this inspires you to travel to Illinois, make sure to check ahead for up-to-date events, exhibits and opening hours at any of the mentioned attractions.

Chicago feels larger than life. The downtown area is significantly larger than downtown Dallas, adding to the novelty of this city we’d never visited before. In other ways, it felt like home. The Latinx heritage and businesses of Chicago are widespread, extending outside of downtown Chicago and into its surrounding, culturally diverse neighborhoods.

Aside from the tourist destinations you might associate with Chicago, there is even more art, museums, restaurants, and things to do that add to the magic of the city. Most importantly, the stories of the family-owned businesses and the entities that strive to preserve and celebrate Chicago’s Latinx heritage deserve a place on your list of things to do and where to eat in Chicago.

We also spent the night in the small town of Rockford, which was about a two-hour drive. It also makes for a great day trip while you're exploring Chicago!
