Downtown
Chicago offers an exceptional and unique display of modern
architecture.
The Loop (in the heart of downtown) is the main reference in the
city: it's in it that are located various exchange markets.
It's also inside the Loop and around it that are located the
most interesting districts and travel sites: the Chicago River,
the Art Institute of Chicago (South Michigan Avenue); the Grant
Park, the Gold Coast and the Old Town; the Lincoln Park and
Wrigleyville, the Chicago's Children's Museum, the Museum of
Contemporary Art (around Michigan Avenue), the Wicker Park and
Bucktown, the Oak Park, Chinatown, Little Italy, etc., etc.
Chicago has, probably, the best
nightlife and the best live music in the USA. Jazz,
classic music, dance, theater, nightclubs, gay clubs (Lincoln
Park surroundings) abound all over downtown and specially along
Halsted Street, Clark Street (The Loop/North Side), Uptown and
Lincoln Park.
BEST TIME TO
VISIT CHICAGO
The best time to travel to Chicago is June, Summer and Fall, but
all depends on what you want and value most.
In the summer months, Chicago offers a wide set of events and lots of
animation and outdoor activities, but these months have extremely hot
days and big crowds and higher accommodation rates.
Autumn months (September–November) may be preferable (first
snows come normally just in December). They are usually sunny
and mild, and the crowds and lines (students are back in school)
are smaller at the major travel sites.
Spring weather is very unpredictable (more unpredictable than
the very changeable and rather unpredictable weather of other
seasons) but can be a good period if you are looking for cheap
accommodation and indoor visits.
Winter months may also be a good option for those who are
betting on indoor visits and activities.
Snow is common, and the winter weather is very rainy,
but there are no
big crowds on attractions and the accommodation prices are
lower.
WHEN NOT
TO GO TO CHICAGO
You may want to avoid the winter
months, when temperatures attain very low levels and snowstorms strike the region.
But if you want to bet on low accommodation rates and indoor
visits, then Winter and transitional months aren't exactly bad
months.
See the Chicago weather data map below for details about the weather in
Chicago. But take into account that the data is just a picture
and averages. Chicago's weather is very changeable. Average temperatures may drop
or rise deeply in close connection with Golf hot air currents
or North cold
ones.
