Don’t listen to her when she says stay away October-May. October, November, December are a great time to visit. January and February are the coldest.
I need a boyfriend who takes me there!

Also, for the duration of your stay in Chicago, expunge the words please and thank you as you'll never hear them in Chi town such is the coldness of the people.
I’m going in early March I’m enquiring as to the Hop on Hop of f Bus, also Gangster to ours and boat trips thank you x
This is yet another Chicago video that is full of errors. (1) The winters in Chicago are not "bitterly cold." Yes, it can get very cold, but that would be a temporary condition and basically an exception more than anything else. I am writing this in Chicago in mid December and it's 54 degrees outside. I went out yesterday wearing a t-shirt and no coat. (2) DON'T pack layers when you come to Chicago in the summer. It does NOT get cold in the summer. And when they say that the summer in Chicago is "cooler by the lake," they mean that the lake front might be 76 degrees instead of 85 degrees. Lake Michigan doesn't make the weather worse. It has a stabilizing effect on the weather: it makes things cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. It does NOT get cold enough for you to need layers in the summer. (3) the Green Mill in Uptown is NOT a blues bar. It is a jazz bar, one of the most famous jazz bars in the country. If you want blues, go to Kingston Mines in Lincoln Park or go to Buddy Guy's Legends in the south Loop.
Thank you for the excellent advice! I'm visiting Chicago for a couple of days, and I'll have a lot of free time to explore. This video helps.
I was there in April . Wonderful vacation & wonderful city
Locals don't go out at night unless it's for a reservation or you're going home from work or a bar.
This video goofy Don’t come here 🗣
Parking is very expensive. But lots to see and great food! Too many homeless and crazies nowadays, so i avoid the public transit. It's not that cold unless ur a stick.
Grew up in Chicago
People from small city like Nashville would be amazed about all their is to see and do
Even the smaller Lincoln Park zoo is big compared to nashville zoo
The BBQ is even better in Chicago
Restaurants bakeries have been in business 70 80 and 100 plus yrs.
Iam comparing nashville because I moved here for the better winters..
You will never eat better anywhere in the world than you will in Chicago.
We are going in July. We are staying at the Staypinapple hotel. Have you heard any good things on this hotel? Also we love walking, do you know how long the river walk is??

I've lived in Chicago all my life, in places like , The New South Loop, Illinois Medical Center, the UIC campus, K- Town , and now DuPage county, Chicago is beautiful , you can actually see it gleaming , inbound from I-55 or Northbound on LSD, however , it's like having a Hooker for a girlfriend, you will get burned
Hello all
I see there are lots of European in Chicago.
Where do I meet European singles in Chicago area?
Hi there! Traveling with my husband to Chicago mid August. We are from South Africa & looking to really balance a local Chicago feel (vibey Neighbourhood, Airbnb, young locals) with some of the MAIN tourist attractions (FOOD, a bit of scenery & a bit of history). We will be there for about 5 days. Looking to stay at Wicker Park but not sure if it’s the best place to be centered from? Any advice?
Fall and winter are the BEST times to come here. Summers are brutal with the heat and humidity and crime surges during the summer
Y’all should make a video of Albuquerque New Mexico
Local podcast! https://youtu.be/JIQfSS9YoZk
As someone who is born and raised in Chicago Chicago is a very great place a bunch of cool things to see very beautiful except there’s one thing there is so much crime and violence so if you are going to travel to Chicago you might as well try to keep safe or keep a low profile
As someone who is born and raised in Chicago this stuff is all true
We plan on going to Chicago last week of May is that a good time to go around ?
I'll be visiting next weekend.
PUHLEEESE! tell the TRUTH! for god's sake.. just dont move here. Save yourself!!
Beautiufl 👍

I absolutely LOVE the Lincoln Park zoo I always stay really close to there when I go to Chicago to visit because it’s such a great thing to do every day just get up in the morning and go walk around the zoo, have lunch in the food court while you plan out the rest of your day!
