Explore Chicago (O'Hare)
When you arrive at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, you’ll find yourself on the northwesternmost edge of the city but just a quick ‘L’ ride away from the hustle and bustle of the Loop. Renting a car is always an option, but Chicago is home to the CTA—buses and trains that can take you all over the city with ease. In a city of neighborhoods, this is especially convenient.
Sink your teeth into the city with a meal. Popular Chicagoland staples include Italian beef, hot dogs covered in veggies (but never, ever ketchup), and pizza (both deep dish and thin crust), but there’s so much more on the menu. Dozens of eclectic communities across the city offer authentic cuisines from around the globe, and Restaurant Row in the West Loop is home to no shortage of Michelin-starred eateries. Not sure what you’re hungry for? Food halls are all the rage—get a taste of everything.
