Tribune Tower Parking: Peek Into The Past

Most of the Tribune Tower is strictly business, operating as headquarters for the Chicago Tribune and other firms. But the marvelous exterior of this Gothic structure still makes this one of the most engaging attractions in the city. If the unique architecture isn’t enough, visitors can check out the dozens of artifacts that decorate the outside walls. Pieces of the Berlin Wall, Great Pyramid and Taj Majal represent just a fraction of the relics attached to the tower, and viewers will tell you seeing these makes for a moving experience.

Sadly, drivers heading downtown to check out this diverse collection of history are out of luck as the building provides no official parking facility. Rather than circling the place in search of a suitable garage, motorists can reserve Tribune Tower parking on ParkWhiz.com. ParkWhiz offers eight lots within half a mile for as low as $11 for a three-hour visit.
