Why Visit

Chicago is a skyscraper metropolis and a feat of modern architecture as well as home to what was once the world’s tallest building, Sears Tower. Chicago may not be a traditional tourist destination but you will find that the Second City is well worth a visit. As the hub of the Midwest, Chicago is not to be overlooked. Its picturesque skyline is reflected in the waters of Lake Michigan. World-class museums of art and science, fine public art, huge parks and sandy beaches and a multicultural vibe (thanks to the Poles, the Italians, the Greeks and the Irish among many other groups) make it an unbeatable destination for a holiday. First stop should be the lakefront, from Lakeview to Oak Street Beach, the entire area is bustling for things for you to do and to see. Take a cheap flight to Chicago and the city will match your passion.

Chicago has long been thought of as the nation’s second city – indeed, Chicagoans only grudgingly admit that New York occupies first place. The city’s central area, including the Loop and the Magnificent Mile, is famous for its combination of modern and historic architecture. Chicago is also home to many of the country’s best museums and art galleries, including the Field Museum of Science and Industry and, reflecting the city’s industrial heritage, the Museum of Science and Industry.

Getting around Chicago

Chicago’s regular, grid-like layout makes navigation straightforward, but the “City With Big Shoulders” can be a little too large to get around easily on foot. Fortunately, the city’s public transportation system, including the famous “L” (short for “elevated train tracks”), is efficient, with especially good coverage in the city centre area. Traffic is often congested, especially during rush hour, and driving isn’t recommended. Cycling is a popular way to get around and with all of Chicago’s lakefront property, it can be a great way to enjoy the city.

Getting downtown from the airport

Chicago’s major airport is O’Hare International Airport (ORD) located in the city’s northwest corner, about 27 km away from the Loop. The Blue Line of the Chicago subway (known as the ‘L’ to locals) connects O’Hare directly to the city, and commuter rail services are easily accessible by a short shuttle ride. Taxi and car hire services are also available.

Travel Tips

One of the biggest challenges for visitors to Chicago can be the weather. Fiercely hot in the summer, the city is bitterly cold and windy in the winter. In the winter, wear layers and don’t expose skin to the wind; in summer, be sure to drink plenty of water.

  • What does ORD mean?

    Great question - ORD just means Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport. Now you’ll know what this unique code and ones like it mean when you look for flights! Chicago Midway Airport (MDW), Chicago Greater Rockford Airport (RFD) are some additional IATA codes for airports related to your trip.
