Landmarks in Chicago

Buckingham Fountain

One of the world's largest fountains, a 1927 rococo centrepiece of Grant Park that shoots water 150 feet skyward in choreographed displays (with lights and music after dark, in season). It's the city's classic postcard, the skyline rising behind. Time your visit for a water show on the hour; evenings for the lights.
