An industrial town in Michigan, Flint might not seem like a premier travel destination, but it does have some intriguing corners that off-the-beaten-path travelers will appreciate. One of the most popular destinations in the city is the Flint Institute of Arts, which houses an impressive collection of artworks that could rival a museum in a big city. Their collection includes pieces painted by Auguste Renoir and Mary Cassatt. If you are not a fan of art, check out Crossroads Village, a faithfully recreated 19th-century village, complete with a cider mill and a steamboat! For those who simply enjoy wandering around, the downtown area of Flint features many great shopping avenues to purchase souvenirs.
Even though it is a small town, Flint still boasts an impressive food scene. Check out 501 Bar & Grill's eclectic menu for the best BBQ in town. If you prefer to travel to cities known for their craft beer, a unique brewery experience awaits in a renovated firehouse at Tenacity Brewery.

Chicago
Known for its innovative architecture, cultural contributions to jazz and house music, and of course that irresistible deep-dish pizza, the many sights and experiences in Chicago make it one of the best urban vacation destinations for millennials and a top destination in Illinois.
You can't beat the views of the city and Lake Michigan from the SkyDeck in the Willis Tower; at over 1,300 feet, this is the highest observation deck in the U.S. Snap that classic selfie with the Bean in Millennium Park, then wander the many museums in nearby Grant Park. Navy Pier is a popular tourist hotspot for its parks, restaurants, and attractions right on Lake Michigan, and baseball fans will find paradise in Wrigleyville, home to the Chicago Cubs' Wrigley Field and sports bars galore.
Chicago's enormous parks offer plentiful opportunities for outdoor activities in gorgeous urban settings. Many companies offer kayak rentals or boat tours on the Chicago River, with special tours running on Saint Patrick's Day, when the entire river is dyed green. When you’re ready to buy some souvenirs from your epic trip, hit the big brand stores on the Magnificent Mile, or shop local in neighborhoods like Andersonville and Wicker Park. And don't miss the chance to laugh until you cry at The Second City comedy theater, famous for launching the careers of comedians like Tina Fey and Stephen Colbert.
