Chicago is definitely an underrated tourist destination in the United States, at least for those who have not been. But, you want to visit Chicago at the right time! No question that the winters can be tough, yet this is a pretty good time to enjoy museums, sports and restaurants, however my recommended time is summer. Many cities aren’t great to visit in the summer… hot weather in a city is never fun and many of the locals end up leaving the city for their own summer vacations. Chicago is different. Yes, it can be hot and humid but there are simply a lot of fun things to do in the city. Almost any week you pick will have festivals, outdoor concerts and other events going on and there will be a lot of people there, both locals and tourists.
