The Readers’ Choice Awards is the longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence within the travel industry and 520,000 readers voted this year. “[The] recognition of our great city as the Condé Nast Traveler’s Best Big City in The U.S., for the seventh year in a row, is proof that Chicago continues to be a force as a destination for visitors from all over the globe," says Mayor Brandon Johnson. "We have something for everyone—77 amazing communities, beautiful parks and lakefront, world class arts, culture and food, and much more. This is a distinction to be proud of, and we will continue to welcome travelers from all over the world to experience all our city has to offer and the soul of Chicago.”
