Plan Your Trip
Getting Here
If you’re planning to fly into Chicago, you’ll have two different options for your arrival: O’Hare and Midway. Both are large international airports that sit just outside of the city. Public transportation does run to each airport, and taxis to and from downtown Chicago to either one will cost you between $30-$45.
