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.

This Month in free Chicago:
For the entire month of February the Art Institute will have free admission. Admission is normally $18 for adults and $12 for students and seniors so it is really a great deal. It is not only a chance for tourists to see a world class art museum for free but it is a chance for locals to see the museum in a new way. Normally for $18 you want to see as much as possible and certainly see the masters like Picasso and Van Gogh. But February is a chance to go more than once and check out one of the less heralded galleries.
