 Good book for tourists March 22, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
If you are thinking of taking a trip to Chicago, this book is great to have. The only thing was that it was a little confusing trying to figure out the different areas in the city - I wish it would have been a little more descriptive for those of us who haven't gone many places in Chicago. However, we did try several of the restaurants that were recommended, and we were satisfied with all of them! Great tidbits of knowledge on the city as well, learned a lot before even going!
Very Good Guide to Chicago February 12, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
My wife and I used this guide for a vacation to Chicago in October 2006. I am generally a big fan of Lonely Planet Guides, and this one did not disappoint. We stayed in hotel in the Gold Coast but used public transportation to get around to several other sections of the city, and this guide covered all of the areas that we visited very well. Information was concise and useful, and overall I was really pleased with this book. It's maps were invaluable while traveling around - it is worth the price for them alone.
However, there were a couple of recommendations in the book which I did not feel were very good. One restaurant in particular that the guide recommended was awful, and because of that I gave the book 4 stars instead of five.
Despite this, Lonely Planet Chicago is still a very good guide and I would recommend it without hesitation.

This is one of the better guide books to Chicago - it's easy to read and has every bit of relevant information on restaurants, attractions, etc. Plus, that chick on the front cover is super hot!
Great guide to Chicago October 15, 2006

Found the guide really good for sites to see, restaurants + hotel bookings ... the all important shopping section was excellent but didn't mentione that non US residents can avail of discounts in most of the large department stores by registering with the customer service desks ... the 2 and 4 day itineraries ensured that we hit all the must sees ... used it in conjunction with some top tips from Trip Advisors fact sheet on Chicago. Also had good advice on days trips in the greater Chicago vacinity.

This guide book was our Bible during our short trip in Chicago. It was right about most things we had a chance to check out, e.g. where to catch the best view of the city. Other helpful information included as well. For example, average prices for meals in restaurants were very helpful when planning where to eat. Very important information, I think, when coming abroad is the information how to tip etc. It's all there.
