Praktische Tipps

2 Many bars offer drink specials during happy hour (typically 4-7pm) - great for budget-conscious solo travelers
3 Pride season (June) brings huge celebrations; book accommodations well in advance if visiting during this time
4 Purchase a Chicago CityPASS for discounts on museums and attractions; many offer LGBTQ+ cultural programming
5 The El (elevated train) is affordable and connects all neighborhoods - consider getting a Ventra card for easy transit
