Reader Reviews
This review is from: Chicago (City Guide) (Paperback)
My wife and I used this guide for a vacation to Chicago in October 2006. I am generally a big fan of Lonely Planet Guides, and this one did not disappoint. We stayed in hotel in the Gold Coast but used public transportation to get around to several other sections of the city, and this guide covered all of the areas that we visited very well. Information was concise and useful, and overall I was really pleased with this book. It's maps were invaluable while traveling around - it is worth the price for them alone. However, there were a couple of recommendations in the book which I did not feel were very good. One restaurant in particular that the guide recommended was awful, and because of that I gave the book 4 stars instead of five. Despite this, Lonely Planet Chicago is still a very good guide and I would recommend it without hesitation.
