It depends on your budget. It's like NYC. Every fancy place crammed next to every cheap girly store all in several blocks of walking around everything. Go online and think about which places you like best to start. Do you like to save money on clothes or spend a lot? Then decide.

How old are you? What's your budget? What are you shopping for? If you're looking for clothes you have a multitude of choices, from the north: 900 N. Michigan Ave. mall (Bloomies), Water Tower Place, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue. Go down a little further south and there's Nordstrom's. Along the way there's everything from Ferragamo to The Gap. If you're into techno type, there's also the Apple store. Into music? Stop by Virgin Records. Really, from one end of the Mag Mile to the other you can't go wrong for whatever type of shopping you are interested in.

I'm going to assume you're a student (since, you know, you're on a school trip and all). If that is the case, unless mommy and daddy have given you their credit card and told you to go crazy or you're the latest pop star and have tons of money, there are not too many options for a student with a limited income. You're best bets on Michigan Ave. is the H&M store across the street from Water Tower Place on the north end of Michigan Ave. (it's a store with modern styles but surprisingly low prices), or the the Eddie Bauer story further south. There's also a Gap store on the street that occasionaly has sales too. The rest of the stores like Nordstrom, etc. are pretty pricey. If you can, convince your chaperones to take you to the Belmont/Clark street area. There are a few stores there that have some cool stuff and are a lot cheaper. Stores like Ragstock, the Alley, Marshalls, etc. I assume you're talking about clothes shopping. If you';re talking about knick knacks, those are all over the place.

H & M is a great choice. The 900 N. Michigan stores are great too - Bloomies, J Crew. I also love Nordstrom's for shoes - that's a great mall area too with a Sephora, Armani Exchange, etc.
