Quick and Informative!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I came to Chicago for a wedding and stayed a couple of extra days. My friends could not believe how much I got to see, and this book was a tremendous help. There are detailed sections on several of Chicago's neighborhoods, which is great if you are the type of tourist who (like me) enjoys just walking around and getting a feel for the city. But there was also great information about landmarks, parks, entertainment, etc. My only suggestion would be that if there is someplace you are DYING to go, call ahead as there were a couple of addresses that were wrong, especially in the Andersonville section. Usually off by a couple of blocks, so it could be that things just moved since the book came out. Also, the restaurant suggestions looked pretty good but I don't think any book could beat www.yelp.com when looking for places to eat/drink.
Use this book to plan your trip!

I used this book to plan a long weekend in Chicago (November 2006) and couldn't be happier with the results. The only slightly negative comment I have about the book is that not all prices were completely accurate. It seems admission to some museums, etc. have increased by a few dollars, but I wasn't too bent out of shape about that. I really liked how the book lists the top spots to hit depending on how many days you plan to spend in the city. I highly recommend the following (as did the book): Architechture Foundation's River Cruise, Second City Comedy Club, Art Institute of Chicago, Shedd Aquarium, and Corner Bakery (for breakfast or a quick lunch). This book also comes with maps that are extremely useful. There is a train (subway) map and a general city map that are right on the inside cover, so it is very easy to get to. A larger, more detailed map is also included. Plus, this book is the perfect size to fit in my purse so we could carry it with us all day long. I could go on and on, but my trip to Chicago was great and I believe this book had a lot to do with that.
I need more days in Chicago

This book strutured my visit to Chicago. It's a big city. Where do you go first? How do I get on the right spot, etc. This guide helps you to find all the interesting places.Small size, excellent maps, good pictures and accurate information,that's what a tourist needs during his exploration either on foot or other transportation. I didn't do all the 17 smart ways to see the city yet. I need some more days. I plan to come again and will take this guide with me.
Don't go to Chicago without this book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is a lifesaver! Fantastic maps (of streets and subway stations) and hundreds of listings of places and things to see, visit, and taste make this book the key to a great trip to Chicago. The book is broken down into easy to use sections like dining, hotels, day trips, art & entertainment, etc. Any thing you want to do in Chicago is listed and described and you can get there easily using the maps in each section. I highly recommend this book. I don't know how we would have seen Chicago without it!
