As expected, it is inactive during the winter. The fountain is only in operation from mid-April to mid-October, from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. With its over 800 permanently installed lights, the play of colors at dusk is particularly worth seeing. This begins at dusk and lasts approximately 20 minutes (more information).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8519\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8519\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/buckingham-fountain.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8519\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/buckingham-fountain-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Buckingham Fountain\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/buckingham-fountain-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/buckingham-fountain.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8519\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Buckingham Fountain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Chicago - Windy City: You should see this! - Cloud Gate<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8513\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8513\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/cloud-gate-im-millenium-park.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8513\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/cloud-gate-im-millenium-park-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Cloud Gate in Millenium Park\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/cloud-gate-im-millenium-park-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/cloud-gate-im-millenium-park-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/cloud-gate-im-millenium-park-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/cloud-gate-im-millenium-park.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8513\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cloud Gate in Millenium Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We walk north along Columbus Dr. past the Art Institute to Millennium Park.

We are served a perfectly prepared burger. The atmosphere is really good. At the neighbouring tables, wealthy ladies are enjoying themselves in a convivial atmosphere with champagne. We have a delicious salted caramel ice cream for dessert. The only thing they don't have is good coffee, unfortunately they only serve filter coffee. Afterwards, we are given a tour of the hotel by two of the hotel managers and given an insight into the rooms and The Peninsula Chicago. A really nice hotel, for $350 USD per night.<\/p>\n\n<p>We walk further north along Michigan Ave. and make a short detour to the Apple Store. You can find the iPad Pro where there is the biggest crowd of people. A nice thing, especially in combination with the stylus.<\/p>\n<h2>Chicago 360 - John Hancock Centre<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8504\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8504\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/john-hancock-center-chicago-360.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8504\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/john-hancock-center-chicago-360-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"John Hancock Centre - Chicago 360\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/john-hancock-center-chicago-360-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/john-hancock-center-chicago-360.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8504\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Hancock Centre - Chicago 360<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Chicago - a city of skyscrapers. A visit to the John Hancock Centre is a must. We buy a ticket to get to the visitor platform on the 94th floor. A mega view awaits us there! If you want a special thrill, you can \"lean out of the window\" on the TILT and enjoy a different view of the Magnificent Mile from a height of 330 metres. We stay until the sun goes down. Seeing downtown from up here is quite something.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-6' class='gallery galleryid-8442 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/john-hancock-center.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/john-hancock-center-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"John Hancock Centre\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-8505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/john-hancock-center-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/john-hancock-center-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/john-hancock-center-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/john-hancock-center-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-8505'>\n\t\t\t\tJohn Hancock Centre\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/blick-vom-john-hancock-center.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/blick-vom-john-hancock-center-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"View from the John Hancock Centre\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-8496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/blick-vom-john-hancock-center-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/blick-vom-john-hancock-center-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/blick-vom-john-hancock-center-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/blick-vom-john-hancock-center-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-8496'>\n\t\t\t\tView from the John Hancock Centre\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_2537.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_2537-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"View from the John Hancock Centre\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-6-8498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_2537-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_2537-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_2537-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_2537-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-6-8498'>\n\t\t\t\tView from the John Hancock Centre\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/blick-vom-john-hancock-center-michigan-lake.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/blick-vom-john-hancock-center-michigan-lake-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"View from the John Hancock Centre -

People gathered in a circle and demonstrated against racism. The reason was that a policeman had shot another \"black man\" the day before. There is a strange atmosphere in the air and we hurry to get to the next station. The Blue Line takes us back towards O'Hare. From our station we took an Uber (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.miles-around.de\/en\/travel-tips\/how-does-the-uber-ride-service-work\/\">How does Uber work?<\/a>) to the nearest Target to buy beer and water.
