WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT CHICAGO?

The best time to visit Chicago depends on your preferences and what you want to do while you're there.

If you enjoy outdoor activities and pleasant weather, the best time to visit Chicago is during the summer months (June to August) when temperatures are typically warm, and there are numerous outdoor festivals and events taking place. However, this is also the peak tourist season, so expect large crowds and higher hotel rates.

If you prefer milder weather and fewer crowds, consider visiting Chicago in the shoulder seasons of spring (March to May) or fall (September to November). During these months, the weather is generally mild and pleasant, and there are still plenty of events and activities to enjoy.

Winter (December to February) in Chicago can be cold and snowy, but it's also a magical time to visit the city. The holiday season is particularly festive, with ice skating rinks, holiday markets, and dazzling light displays throughout the city. Plus, hotel rates are generally lower during this time. Ultimately, the best time to visit Chicago depends on your preferences and what you want to do while you're there.
