The towers, the museums, Millennium Park and the lakefront, nine minutes by train.
Why go to The Loop
The Loop is named for the elevated train tracks that circle it, and it is the densest collection of landmark skyscrapers in America. It is also where you will find the Art Institute of Chicago, Millennium Park and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
From Morgan station, take the Green or Pink line east and get off at Clark/Lake or State/Lake. Most guests spend a full day here: the Art Institute in the morning, lunch nearby, then an afternoon walking through Millennium Park to the lakefront.
