The river *makes* the city. Walk its length as a light workout and to soak up brilliant architecture. Take an architectural boat cruise. Relax down by the water.

It was really great idea to buy a river cruise and explore the city from the river... And the tour guide was very interesting

The best choice to enjoy it is taking the boat from navy pier... There are a lot but the architectural is really good! If you take it on spring or summer remember the sunblock

Good Place for a morning run when it's not chilly! And if it is, go to Fox and Obel for some hot coffee and Terry's Toffees.

Try Urban Kayak - they have an interesting historic tour or you can just rent 2 hours at a time :)
