You can't miss the famous \"Bean\" sculpture, officially known as \"Cloud Gate\", which reflects the city's skyline in its shiny surface. Take a walk around the park, enjoy the landscaping and maybe bring a picnic to enjoy on the lawn. This is a great place to relax and soak in the atmosphere of the city.\n\nHere are some tips for visiting Millennium Park in Chicago:\n\nPlan ahead: Make sure to plan ahead and check the park's events calendar, as there are often concerts, festivals, and other events going on that you might want to see.\n\nPack your picnic: The park has plenty of green space and lawns, making it a great spot for a picnic. So bring your lunch or grab something from one of the nearby food carts and enjoy a relaxing picnic in the park.\n\nTake a selfie with the Bean: \"Cloud Gate,\" more commonly known as \"The Bean,\" is one of the park's most iconic attractions. Remember to take a selfie or two in front of the sculpture!\n\nRent a bike: If you want to explore the park and surrounding areas at a faster pace, consider renting a bicycle. There are several bike rental locations nearby (at 239 E. Randolph St., for example) and the park is bike-friendly.\n\nStay hydrated: The park can get hot in the summer, so make sure to stay hydrated by bringing a water bottle or buying one from a nearby vendor."},{"type":"audio","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Ftp9LN9rODImTiTdLuspA%2Fsynthesized_audio%20(5).mp3?alt=media&token=4999e534-f29c-4c7c-adb5-bd7e705588bd"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Ftp9LN9rODImTiTdLuspA%2F990604abe4a26ac093d1bd83b28bc49a.jpg?alt=media&token=1bd2c7ff-2745-4c67-b0f8-5cebfeba6613"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Ftp9LN9rODImTiTdLuspA%2F5a381989eda1a644f0a7f98d2a58b073.jpg?alt=media&token=a0239abb-acd5-4349-b3eb-9e8fd12d2d13"},{"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Ftp9LN9rODImTiTdLuspA%2FSnaptik.app_7180363633833069829.mp4?alt=media&token=81d94f05-6037-4a08-990f-d81a7394ee79"}]},{"address":"Pittsfield Cafe","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":41.88315101424019,"longitude":-87.62561910000001},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Pittsfield Cafe"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Ftp9LN9rODImTiTdLuspA%2F1004806_490604694355320_401315570_n.jpg?alt=media&token=19c7413b-9a60-4621-b7f1-1bf14e187aff"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Ftp9LN9rODImTiTdLuspA%2F20190912-110208-largejpg.jpg?alt=media&token=852737c6-24b6-4839-aab4-527d3b6a5fa5"},{"type":"link","content":"https://pittsfieldcafe.com/"},{"type":"audio","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Ftp9LN9rODImTiTdLuspA%2Fsynthesized_audio%20(6).mp3?alt=media&token=f96dc8d3-fbb9-4ffc-b6fb-5b8764f4f047"},{"type":"text","content":"This is where I often have great breakfasts.
