Description: Illinois, USA.

Newest Review: ... these modes of transport to get from the suburbs to the city. Transport: Chicago has many forms of transport, you could take the subway, a yellow cab, and you could hire out a rental car. I had always wanted to sit an American yellow taxi, and on several occasions had the pleasure of doing so. Now it really is just like the movies, you really do have to shout out “Taxi” to get one. The ... more

 ... busy hustle bustle city life of downtown Chicago meant that you really had to be on guard for a taxi, as most of them would be taken just like that. I wanted to catch a taxi from down town Chicago, to my cousin’s home, in Des Plaines, some 35 minutes awa...more

As I child I always wanted to travel to Chicago, the fact that I had family living their, which I hadn’t seen in over 10 years made it even easier to go their. Having only two weeks in Chicago, I made the most of it, viewing all the big tourist attractions, whilst also seeing the smaller more unseen sides of the Windy City, such as the local museums, libraries, jazz bars, the attractions, which aren’t usually advertised in the holiday brochures. This review will only cover my experiences of Chicago, I will try to explain as much as I can, but hopefully this will give readers an informative and different perspective of Chicago. Brief ...

As a regular business traveller there is one question which invariably arises when talking with colleagues - why isn't Chicago more popular with British tourists? Walk the streets of Boston or New York and you are struck by the frequency with which you hear British accents and pass by your fellow countymen struggling under a mountain of shopping bags. Yet arrive in Chicago and the situation is completely different. Why? Surely it can't be the flight time - at around 8 hours it is only an hour further from London than New York. Perhaps the shopping then? Probably not. The 'Magnificent Mile' - a section of Michigan Avenue north of the river has some ...

Chicago's not a bad spot to spend a few weeks, which is just as well, because I found myself positioned there for training with my new job for nine weeks. While we weren't based in the center of the city, we did spend a large amount of time there both sightseeing and socialising. Chicago is serviced by two airports: O'Hare (the big, famous one) and Midway (the one no-one's heard of). They're both located quite close to the city centre (close by American standards, that is) and getting to and from either airport is easy. Travel to and from the suburbs is done via Metra trains (http://www.metrarail.com) into Chicago Union Station and at the time of ...
