Tucked away in the heart of Chicago, there’s a place where urban wonder takes center stage. One that locals cherish and travelers never forget.
Whether you're stepping out onto a glass ledge high above the skyline, watching sunlight dance across rooftops, or seeing the horizon stretch endlessly in every direction, this view captures something extraordinary. It's the perfect meeting of thrilling and awe-inspiring, and easily one of the most stunning places to visit in Illinois.
From its sweeping panoramas to the quiet sense of wonder it inspires, this destination offers a rare moment of connection to something greater, where you can literally see the world from a new perspective. Photographs hardly do it justice. The only way to truly appreciate it is to stand there, look out, and feel the sheer magnitude of where you are.
According to a list compiled by LoveExploring, the Willis Tower Skydeck offers the absolute best view in the state.
Here's what LoveExploring had to say about the spot with the best view in Illinois:
"With just 1.5 inches of layered glass separating you from a 103-story drop, the transparent balconies of the Willis Tower’s Skydeck in Chicago aren’t for the faint-hearted. If you can stomach the height, you'll be rewarded with panoramic views stretching up to 50 miles, spanning Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Still, it might be best to save that deep-dish pizza for after you’re back on solid ground."
