Chicagovisitor.net was created by locals as a guide for tourists and visitors. After many years of showing friends and family the sights and sounds of Chicago we decided to share our experiences with all tourists by creating this site. We are within walking distance of Navy Pier, Michigan Ave and Millennium Park. We have visited all of the restaurants, museums, stores and attractions listed on this site numerous times and our writing is based on personal experiences. We do not attempt to cover all of the thousands of restaurants, hundreds of hotels or myriad of sites. Instead we have narrowed down the overwhelming choices to ones that are worth considering in an effort to make planning your visit easier. Chicago Visitor.net is designed to help visitors get the most out of their trip to the Windy City.

Upcoming events:
Chicago's St. Patrick's Day Parade will be Saturday March 13. The festivities begin at 10:45 with the dyeing of the river. The already green river is turned to Irish green. This takes place east of Michigan Ave. Crowds, which are large, get there early.
The crowds are smaller on the south side of the river and it will help you beat the crowd if you are headed to the parade. The parade starts at noon on Columbus behind the Art Institute of Chicago. Most local bars will be having St. Patrick's Day specials. If you are looking to have a beer before the parade try Timothy O'Tooles or Lizzie McNeill's Irish Pub, the hub of all activity before the river is dyed.
