1) If the weather isn't good for walking, take the Chicago subway	Chicago has three “layers”: the underground one for cars, the main visible level, and the upper one is the subway. Most of its stations are located above the ground, which allows you to admire the city without leaving the car. Hop on the Pink or Green Line and enjoy the ride.
2) Bring warm clothes with you in Chicago, even if you are planning a summer trip	Cold winds are common in Chicago, often named “the Windy City.” Thus, a sweater and windbreaker will come in handy even in summer. The average temperature during the summer months in Chicago is about 25 degrees Celsius. In addition, summer is considered the high season in Chicago, which means more high-priced accommodation.
3) Be impressed by the dimensions of one of the tallest skyscrapers in Chicago	The Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) was once the tallest building in the world. It is now considered the third-tallest building in the USA and the 23rd tallest in the whole world. Plus, this skyscraper will look great in your photos!
