Printers Row Landmark District

The Printers Row area has had many lives: a prolific vice district, a bustling publishing center, a zone of urban decay, and a revitalized residential neighborhood. Throughout all these incarnations, it has always been one-of-a-kind. Despite being next to Chicago's Loop, the city's central business district, many people do not know much about this landmark area filled with unique features, beautiful lofts, and wonderful stories. This Tours With Mike guided tour can be experienced in two ways: 1. listen to the audio from expert tour guide Mike or 2. read the descriptions at each stop. Regardless of which option you choose, you will not miss any content. The tour starts right across the street from Dearborn Station (47 W Polk Street), and it is close to the Harrison (Red Line), LaSalle (Blue Line), and Harold Washington Library-State/Van Buren (Brown, Orange, and Pink Lines) CTA train stations. Make use of this app's map function to navigate with each map stop showing where you should stand to get the best views, not the building addresses. Sandmeyer's Bookstore is the only spot that is not wheelchair-accessible, but it is optional and no content about it is covered in the interior. Everything else on this wheelchair-accessible tour route is very compact and covers approximately 0.4 miles (0.6 kilometers). Printers Row also has many great places for food and drink either before, after, or even during the tour!
