Top Three Things Before Visiting Chicago
1. Learn about the CTA - Chicago Transit Authority (http://www.transitchicago.com/):
We love our mass transit in Chicago, and the CTA's website is an excellent reference for getting around the city. Check the site for directions, maps and schedules of trains and busses, and even estimated arrival times. You can also download apps to your phone for arrival times when you're out on the town. We like for iPhone and for Androids.
2. Find out more about Chicago at Explore Chicago (http://www.explorechicago.org/city/en.html):
A great source of general info about the city, different neighborhoods, and sights you should check out. Chicago also has a great selection of summer festivals. If your travels extend through either weekend, just type "festivals" into the search field for some options!
