Chicago: Riverwalk Self-Guided Walking Tour
About this experience
Experience the magic of Chicago's Riverwalk, a sparkling gem stretching from the azure waters of Lake Michigan all the way to bustling Franklin Street. Known fondly as the city's 'Second Lakefront', the Riverwalk comes alive with riverside restaurants in the summer, inviting lounging areas, boat rentals, and amphitheater-style seating for a variety of performances.
The Riverwalk is also home to the poignant Vietnam Veterans Memorial Plaza and the fascinating McCormick Bridgehouse & Chicago River Museum. With a dash of luck, witness the awe-inspiring sight of a bridge lift right from inside the bridge house!

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
