These Are the Ultimate Instagram Captions for Your Upcoming Trip to Chicago

When you think of the United States, your mind probably jumps to New York City or Los Angeles, but by far, the most underrated city in America is Chicago.

It has the charm of both—the concrete jungle of NYC and the sunny beachside of L.A. The musical theater is probably the richest in the country, next to New York, and the weather can be as beautiful as sunny California in the summer. Oh, and who needs Coachella when you have something slightly more low-key, like Lollapalooza?

There's something for everyone in Chicago, so make the most of it when you're visiting. But don't forget to commemorate your trip with a post on Instagram! To help inspire your post, we've gathered the ultimate captions to use in homage to the most iconic parts of Chi-town.
