About Magnificent Mile

Sprawling skyscrapers, constant foot traffic, and iconic stores: it's no wonder that the Magnificent Mile is one of the most recognizable areas in Chicago. Located along North Michigan Avenue and stretching from the Chicago River to Oak Street, the Magnificent Mile is synonymous with luxury and the dizzying achievements of Chicago architecture. The Mag Mile gives residents everything they could need just outside their front door (likely guarded by a doorman), giving them one of the most esteemed addresses in the country.

Tourists. Lots of them. A quick stroll through the Magnificent Mile shows why the stretch is near the top of the list of places to see in Chicago. The Magnificent Mile is not particularly family-friendly, so the population tends to be working professionals or empty nesters. Throughout the day, these locals expertly dodge the throngs of out-of-towners marveling at the sights and sounds of one of Chicago's most dynamic streets.
