Perfect for lighting up your social media! ✨ 1️⃣ Chicago Theatre 🎭 Best shot at night from the pedestrian bridge south of State & Lake L station. Use a wide-angle lens! 2️⃣ Adams & Wabash or Washington & Wabash Stations 🚆 Capture the L trains passing with Trump Tower in the background. 3️⃣ South of Adams & Wabash Station Historic trains weaving through skyscrapers — timeless shot! 4️⃣ N Wells Street Bridge over Chicago River 🌉 Shoot east and west for epic skyline views. A must for grand cityscapes. 5️⃣ 200 North Clark iParkit Garage (8th Floor) 🌀 The famous “Inception”-style shot! Enter from Clark St. (west side, near rental car sign). Only the 8th floor works.
