The center of Chicago, the downtown, and the main attraction for 90% of Chicago's visitors

Ultra-hip and laid-back, with some of the most vibrant immigrant communities in the country.

Not a significant tourist attraction, but does have some interest as home to Chicago's "Black Belt," large Mexican neighborhoods, and Midway Airport.

Far Southwest Side
Home to a large Irish-American community, a huge St Patrick's Day Parade, a ton of Irish pubs, and even a replica Irish castle.

Far Southeast Side
A large, mostly uninteresting (to travelers) section of Chicago with one large tourist draw: the historic Pullman District.
