Best time to go to Chicago

Peak Season:

The months of June through September make up the peak season in Chicago. Despite the high humidity, flights to Chicago tend to be pricey during this period, as visitors crowd the streets to enjoy the warmth, play on the lakefront, or go sightseeing on one of the many local tours.

Shoulder Season:

The shoulder season in Chicago falls in April and May, then again in October to December. The climate ranges from warm and pleasant, to crisp and cool. Although many visitors prefer to avoid the chill, these months are still great as the city sees vibrant flora during spring, romantic reds and oranges during autumn and clean, glimmering snow at the start of winter.

Off Season:

From January through March, Chicago sees its bitterest weather. Although many tourists flee the area in search of warmer climates, this is still a good time to go as you will be able to enjoy the New Years celebrations, take advantage of inexpensive flights and explore the city in solitude.

Chicago Airport and transfer information

Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD)

Distance: 27km northwest of city centre

The Go Airport Express shuttle bus is one of the most convenient methods of ground transport. This shuttle offers door-to-door service, is reasonably-priced, and relatively quick. Taxis and public buses are two other convenient methods. Both take around 25 minutes to an hour and half to arrive, depending upon your destination; however, taxis allow for more flexibility, but can be expensive, while the bus system is inexpensive, but is prone to delays. Alternatively, you can rent a car at a slightly higher rate.
