Walking Tour of Chicago Pilsen Neighborhood

Meet your tour guide at the beautiful Chagall Four Seasons mosaic as we begin our Creativity & Community neighborhood tour. After a short walk, we'll catch the Pink Line at the renovated Quincy L station (opened in 1897) and make our way to Pilsen ‘ a vibrant neighborhood just southwest of the Loop originally settled by Czech immigrants.
