I felt very safe in Chicago, it is a wonderful city, although many people say it is a dangerous city, I felt safe. In Chicago, you must try their famous pizza, visit the beach and Skydeck. I can say that is the most beautiful city.

Chicago is safe in most of the neighborhoods tourists would want to visit. Just don’t be stupid and keep your wits about you - watch your drinks carefully, don’t keep your phone in your back pocket, don’t stop for strangers if they come up to you on the street. It has a bad reputation but it’s safer than other major US cities like New York unless you purposefully seek out dangerous neighborhoods.
Posted: April 18, 2024Most places are pretty safe during the day. Don’t venture much south of the Loop. Some areas of River North and the Loop can be sketchy at night but crime has been dropping back down in those areas. Just stay aware I wouldn’t take the trains after like 9pm. Especially not alone.

It has a lot of things to do even when you explore the city alone. I did not use public transport as it was fun and easy to walk around. There are many impressive theaters, bars etc. that are worth visiting especially in the night hours. A bit expensive but it was worth it.

I enjoyed this trip so much. The city is amazing, I highly recommend the ferry architecture trip, to avoid staying in the downtown!! The Getaway Chicago Hostel is a great option. Food in Chinatown is really cheap and delicious. People is friendly, I had an amazing time there.
