This live feed looks out from the Chicago Skydeck area, high above the city's downtown core. It is useful for a quick look at how the skyline and the lake edge look right now before you plan a visit or a call.

About Chicago and the Loop

Chicago sits on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan and is the largest city in Illinois. Its downtown, known as the Loop, combines a dense cluster of tall office towers with the river, bridges and parks that give the city its character. Architecture is a central part of its identity, and the city is widely regarded as a birthplace of the modern skyscraper, which is why viewpoints high above the streets are so popular.

What to watch on the camera

Depending on the exact view, you may see the glass and steel towers, the river corridor and the wide grey-blue expanse of the lake toward the east. Clear mornings and late afternoons usually give the sharpest light on the buildings. Weather changes the scene quickly: low cloud can hide the tops of the towers, while sunny days show the city and the water in strong contrast.

Climate and getting around

Chicago has warm, humid summers and cold winters with snow and strong winds off the lake, so spring and early autumn are the most comfortable seasons for a visit. The downtown area is walkable and well served by the elevated L trains and buses. Nearby on VizCams you can open other Chicago views, including the Willis Tower camera, to compare conditions across the city.
