Not very sweet and not common.

Consejos para la ciudad

Facilidad para moverse por la casa

Subway / Buses and Uber are great choices

Public transportation works great in Chicago. You can buy a 1 day , 3 day unlimited pass on some subway station , or one week pass to get unlimited public transportation (subway and busses) You’ll need one ticket per each person as it can’t be use in the same moment for different people. You can also pay with apple pay. Blue line and red line works 24/7 and some of the busses too! Uber are also a great option as in this city is very affordable , specially if you carry luggage or need to move pretty late or early for security reasons.
Costumbres y cultura

Be aware when you walk or park your car!

As most of big cities in the world this city it’s not the safest, and one of the most unsafe places even when you don’t feel it , it’s Downtown Chicago , so always walk aware! Try to avoid being like a tourist, don’t leave anything at a sight in your car that might motivate someone to break your windows. Keep your wallet, and phone close to you. And avoid public transportation very late specially if you are alone.
Antes de que te vayas

Restaurants / Bars will need reservation!

Most of the restaurants and bars in Chicago will need your prior reservation so you can get in googl maps , take the phone number or the web to reserve and being able to enjoy the places.
