Avoid restaurants on the main tourist strips, walk a couple blocks into Pilsen or Logan Square for authentic, cheaper meals.
Skip buying single bus fares, get a Ventra card or multi-day pass from the train station machines, it saves money and time.
Four days felt just right for the highlights, but I wish I'd had time to explore more neighborhoods and smaller galleries.
Nightlife surprised me, low-key bars with live music and no cover charges. Food trucks at night saved my budget.
Cold in March, bring layers and a warm coat. Locals are friendly and trains run late, but museums get packed by noon.
