About the city of Chicago: Your comprehensive guide
Bursting with energy and framed by gleaming skyscrapers, this lakeside metropolis beckons explorers day and night. Be sure to see that mirrored “bean” in the heart of a bustling park—a dazzling sculpture that perfectly reflects the soaring skyline. Theater, music, and art thrive in every corner, offering endless inspiration and entertainment. Stroll the scenic waterfront, soak up breathtaking views, and immerse yourself in a world-class cultural scene. Before you head home, treat your taste buds to the legendary deep-dish pizza and a hearty hot dog—local favorites you won’t want to miss.
Gastronomy: Delicious Discoveries
Deep dish pizza stands out as a must-try, layered with its buttery crust, rich tomato sauce, and generous mozzarella. The Chicago-style hot dog follows close behind, crowned with mustard, onions, neon relish, pickles, peppers, tomatoes, and a sprinkle of celery salt. Italian beef sandwiches bring hearty comfort, dipped in savory jus for an extra burst of flavor, while Garrett Mix popcorn blends sweet caramel with tangy cheddar in a distinctive local snack. Craft beer flows from countless small-batch breweries, and those craving a true local taste can brave a shot of Malört, Chicago’s famously bitter liqueur. On each spot of the audio guide, we’ll give you the nearest recommended restaurants according to Google’s users opinions.
Transportation and getting around the city
Grab the Blue Line from O’Hare or the Orange Line from Midway for a quick, affordable ride into downtown. Taxis, rideshares, and shuttle vans are also available if you prefer a door-to-door service, though you might hit traffic. Once you’re settled, the ‘L’ train and city buses make it a breeze to hop between neighborhoods—just pick up a Ventra card at stations or convenience stores, load it up, and go. If you’re keen on sightseeing and don’t mind following a set route, hop-on hop-off tour buses sell tickets online or at kiosks near major attractions. Walking is encouraged around the central districts, where the Loop, Millennium Park, and Riverwalk are full of iconic stops and easy paths to navigate on foot. Taxis and rideshares come in handy for late-night adventures or routes that aren’t well-served by public transport. For day-to-day spending, credit and debit cards are widely accepted, but carrying a bit of cash is helpful for tips and any places that only take cash. Electricity runs on 120 volts with Type A and B sockets, so bring an adapter if you need one.
