The third most highly populated city in the US, Chicago is internationally known as the ‘windy city’. Situated on the shores of Lake Michigan, the iconic city has moveable bridges dotted along its extensive river system, adding to its unique appeal.
Transport
Public transport in the city is operated by the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) which provides the Chicago Transit Authority (buses and rapid transit rail system), Metra (America’s second-most used regional rail operator, and linking the city with Midway and O’Hare Airports) and Pace (bus and paratransit service). The city also has a considerable bicycle sharing system.
Weather
Aptly named, the ‘windy city’ is famous for its very windy winters which are often freezing, with temperatures plummeting to 5F. Warm and weatherproof clothing is recommended year round, as even in summer the city skies are overcast, and although warm are very humid and wet.
