Grant Park is the place to be all summer long -- there's stuff going on here virtually every week from May through September. And the park is so huge that even during Taste of Chicago, it's possible to find some quiet spots to chill out. Plus, there's Buckingham Fountain -- a must-see for tourists. And the Museum Campus at the south end.
Pros: Greenery in the city
Cons: Crowded big events
