Chicago is home to shopping options from World Class to discount and everything in between. There is the Magnificent Mile on Michigan Avenue which is an eight block stretch, home to more than 400 stores. Otherwise there is Oak Street which is an internationally recognised centre of style with high-end stores and salons just off Michigan Avenue. River North Gallery District is where lovers of arts and antiques should head.

There are also plenty of options at the State Street Retail Historic District and just one block on from that is Jeweler’s Row which is the Midwest’s largest jewellery district.  

"Other options include Lincoln Park and Armitage Avenue which can satisfy those looking for fashion, accessories and furniture. After all that shopping you might want somewhere to take a load off and enjoy a little “me” time. The city has a great range of spas which can do just that."
