East Balbo Ave, The Loop

Balbo Drive is just a short street, linking the downtown sky-highs to Lake Michigan on Lake Shore Drive. It runs right through Millennium and Grant Park, and is generally filled with visitors for Chicago's many summer festivals.

Taking a stroll down Balbo is one of Chicago's greatest treasures, as it gives you a beautiful view of both the sprawling Lake Michigan, as well as a front row seat to Chicago's full skyline.
