Willis Tower
Once the world's tallest tower, though now surpassed by many, the view from the Willis Tower SkyDeck is still truly breathtaking. On clear days, you can see up to 40 to 50 miles, taking in the impressive architectural layout of Chicago.
It took three years to construct Willis Tower, officially opening to the public in 1974. The building's standout attraction is the observation deck on the 103rd floor (SkyDeck). Here, there's a glass-floored box called the Ledge, jutting out from the SkyDeck. Standing on the Ledge, you'll have a perfect cityscape view, a thrilling yet 'chill' experience.
