2008 Chicago Official Visitors Guide - (Page 147) beyond Chicago The communities just outside of Chicago’s borders offer some of the area’s premier attractions — many are must-do outings that are part of any complete Chicago itinerary. Everything is easily accessible by car or public transportation. Springtime in Chicago encourages you to explore world-class architecture; high-end to premier outlet shopping; professional baseball; flower, garden and antique shows; cultural festivals; musical performances; and spectacular rivers, lakefronts and parks. Just outside of Chicago, affordable accommodations, most with free parking, offer perfect incentives for venturing beyond downtown. First-class accommodations at reasonable rates offer great values that can’t be beat. Seasonal hotel packages are easy to book and perfect for weekend getaways that everyone will enjoy.
