Courses in Chicago, USA

It is not widely known that the nickname “windy city” comes from a historic rivalry between New York and Chicago and not from the windy weather. Today, Chicago is not dirty and loud - it is beautiful, clean, and unbelievably versatile. Anyone who has visited Chicago will never forget their visit and will always be fascinated by Chicago. While Manhattan, New York, may seem intimidating because of its size and hecticness, Chicago presents itself to its visitors with an open soul. A wide strip of beaches and parks is found along Lake Michigan from Jackson Park to the Northern suburbs. This combination of city and nature offers a leisure area that is hard to find anywhere else in the USA. On sunny days you can find young and old on the lake, playing chess, driving Jet-Skis or motorboats, reading, relaxing in the sun or on a bike ride along the lake. However, the lake is not everything: when you move towards the Loop you are getting closer to the heart of Chicago. Blues rules the life here. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the subway or on the corner in front of a skyscraper - street musicians are everywhere. They have more to offer than street musicians in other cities. Blues is playing in the background at Starbucks, in bars and even at 4-Star hotels.
