Sears Tower - Downtown ChicagoOne of the most popular Chicago attractions is the Sears Tower located in the heart of downtown Chicago. The Sears Tower is an astonishing 110 stories and holds the title of North America's tallest building. Look over the city from the Skydeck, where you can get panoramic views of the city from 1,353 feet above the ground. While you're downtown, don't forget to stop by the John Hancock Center a short distance down the road. This is one of the most recognizable buildings in the world and is a symbol of great architecture.
