As the oldest settlement in Wisconsin, Green Bay offers a great mix of historic destinations and modern activities to enjoy. One of the most popular attractions in the city is The Automobile Gallery, where car fans can ooh and aah over dozens of vehicles from different eras. If you're more of a train lover, a good alternative is the National Railroad Museum, home to the world's largest steam locomotive. And, of course, NFL fans will want to go directly to Lambeau Field, the home of the Green Bay Packers. The stadium also includes a hall of fame and a museum that showcases the team's achievements.

Green Bay's food scene offers much more than just sports bars, so everyone will find something to their liking while dining here. Rustique Pizzeria + Lounge offers amazing pizza slices in a unique dining setting: a 112-year-old chapel.

Intercity bus service connects Green Bay to nearby cities like Milwaukee and Minneapolis, and the downtown bus terminal means buses deliver you right to the middle of the action. The Green Bay/Austin Straubel International Airport, a few miles away, is a small airport with flights to domestic and international destinations.

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.
