Getting around Chicago

Chicago has a solid mix of transit to carry you around once you arrive.

• Commuter rail connects the city centre to the broader metro area and is handy if you're heading to neighbourhoods or suburbs beyond the downtown core.
• The Chicago Water Taxi, run by Chicago Water Taxi, is one of the more enjoyable ways to move along the river between key points in the city centre. It's practical as well as scenic, and worth knowing about if your hotel or plans put you near the waterfront.
• Local buses run by the Chicago Transit Authority cover a wide stretch of the city and are a straightforward way to reach hotels, restaurants, and attractions that aren't on the rail network.
• Taxis and rideshare are also a practical choice, particularly when you're travelling with luggage or heading somewhere less central.
