Traffic Information

Like many major cities in the United States, rush hour can lead to congestion and delays so avoid driving between 6am and 8am and from 4pm until 6pm if you can. We also recommend checking the baseball game schedule during Spring and into the Fall, as Chicago roads can be extremely busy at this time. The city is laid out in a grid system and fairly easy to navigate, with good connections to major interstate highways in Illinois and surrounding states.

Sixt Tips

Chicago is a bustling metropolis but also has plenty of places to get away and recharge like its excellent parks and the beaches along Lake Michigan. It is easy to spend time relaxing in between what will no doubt be a busy sightseeing schedule. The city has more than 8,000 acres of parkland, two of the highlights being Grant Park and Lincoln Park. For beaches check out the splendid Ohio Street Beach, though you have 31 to choose from in Chicago.

Seeing Chicago at night is also highly recommended. The city boasts countless theaters, an exciting underground music scene, opera houses and a plethora of bars and restaurants serving diverse cuisines. There are also some fantastic rooftops and observation decks where you can see Chicago's bold and beautiful architecture lit up.
