Budgeting for a Trip to Chicago

While visiting Chicago can be expensive, careful, smart planning can make the trip affordable. Summers are popular but are also the priciest time to visit, with higher costs for airfare, accommodations, and car rentals. To save, consider road trips with friends, booking Airbnbs instead of hotels, or exploring alternative transportation options. For the best deals, travel during the late fall or winter months when airfare and other expenses are significantly lower. A little snow and cold shouldn’t stop you from enjoying all the city has to offer!
