Chicago's North Shore Convention & Visitors Bureau

Nothing compares to the unsurpassed beauty and distinctive charm of Chicago’s North Shore. Bordering Chicago, along the glorious shores of Lake Michigan, the ­inviting communities of Evanston, Skokie, Northbrook, Glenview and Wheeling are just 20 minutes north of Chicago’s city center, 30 minutes from O’Hare and offer value and diverse options for both the individual and group traveler. Chicago’s North Shore is quick trip on the city’s famed “el” trains and the Metra rail system. There's plenty to explore including the lakefront campus of Northwestern University, Chicago Botanic Garden, the only Baha'i House of Worship in the Western Hemisphere, the Illinois Holocaust Museum, the North Shore Center for Performing Arts, the Grosse Point Lighthouse, the Charles Dawes Gates House and three premiere shopping centers, Westfield Old Orchard, Northbrook Court and the Glen Town Center as well as the downtown shopping districts in Evanston, Glencoe and Winnetka. The highlight of the North Shore is Sheridan Road, a gorgeous, winding stretch of road hugging the shores of Lake Michigan and offering the most spectacular views of gracious homes, famed architecture and the bounty of nature.
