Known as the “Windy City”, Chicago is bursting with restaurants, and hotels thus gaining international status, with 5 star status. It was once considered a gangster's paradise but has evolved into an assortment of transcendent architecture, world-class theatre, and rabid sportsmanship. The heart of downtown was formed by the "Loop" of elevated train tracks. Chicago attractions are the Museum Campus; Navy Pier; North Loop theatre district; and luxury shopping destinations. Set between two rivers, the Illinois and the Des Plaines.

 

Due to the difficulties of driving in Chicago, it would be better trying some other means of exploring. Public transport is inexpensive and convenient; taxis and limousines are readily available, the latter often priced competitively with metered cabs. Other means of getting around are via bicycle, boat, sky train, and car rentals.
 

The 3 airports close to Chicago are O'Hare International located 20 miles from downtown, Midway is about 7 miles of downtown and Meigs Field just south of downtown serves commuter airlines. Transport to or from varies from public transportation car rental or shuttle service.
