Use the Water Taxi
In the summer, the water taxi is a fun and scenic way to get between the Loop, the Magnificent Mile, and the Museum Campus, often more enjoyable than the bus or train.
Go to a Blues Club
For an authentic experience, go to a legendary blues club like Buddy Guy's Legends or Kingston Mines to hear high-quality live music.
The Architectural Boat Tour is Mandatory
It is not a tourist trap. It is universally acclaimed as the best way to see and understand the city. Do it on one of your first days.
Sports are a Religion
Chicago is a passionate sports city. Being respectful of local teams (Bears, Cubs, White Sox, Bulls, Blackhawks) is a good idea.
Tap Water is Safe
Chicago tap water, sourced from Lake Michigan, is high quality and perfectly safe to drink.
Travel Insurance is Essential
Like anywhere in the US, healthcare is extremely expensive. Traveling with complete medical insurance is essential.
Understand the Security Context
The tourist areas are very safe. Chicago's reputation for violence is tied to systemic problems in specific neighborhoods, far from where tourists usually go.
Caution on Public Transport at Night
As in any big city, be aware of your surroundings on the 'L' or on buses late at night. If you feel uncomfortable, travel in the first car, where the driver is.
