Chicago is a top food, entertainment, and hospitality destination that is sure to please all types of travelers, from families with kids to a couple escaping for a romantic getaway. Use this guide to plan for any length of stay but if you're looking for a suggested timeline, I'd say 2-4 days will give you a good taste of what this Midwestern metropolis has to offer.
