For an iconic look at Chicago, check out Cloud Gate, also known as The Bean. This open-air sculpture is unique and provides a great photo opportunity. Head inside to the Art Institute of Chicago and past the two bronze lions at the door to take in art from around the world, including its trademark American gothic pieces.
