Our Chicago, IL Travel and Lodging Guide
The Windy City has no shortage of old stories and old money-but these days it's a premier destination for young people hoping to make some new memories without emptying their wallets. Finding cheap Chicago youth hostels can take a lot of the financial sting out of your Midwest vacation. Once you arrive, don't be afraid to lean on the proprietor for recommendations-this is one town where it pays to have local knowledge on your side. For instance, when you're ready to sink your teeth into a slice of deep dish pizza, you'll want to know which parlor can take care of you.

Fortunately, Chi-town has plenty of visible culture and obvious attractions, and the Chicago Transit Authority is there to whisk you quickly and safely between them. Light-rail and frequent service bus network make it a breeze to see the Windy City. Almost any itinerary (and any Chicagoan's typical day) will have you bouncing from district to district-consider renting a bike if the weather's nice. Compare prices, many youth hostels in Chicago offer very affordable rates on rentals.

Local sports franchises are heavily supported here, win or lose. While the city's basketball fans may have more cause for celebration than its baseball fans, taking in a game at Wrigley field is a great way to see what the city's really about. Team loyalty runs deep here, so tread lightly talking about any Chi-town team-even a losing one. Staying at one of the cheap nearby youth hostels during a home Cubs series is about as Chicago as it gets

For 25 years, Chess Records released recordings by artists as diverse and influential as Chuck Berry and Shel Silverstein. That musical legacy lives on in a city that features multiple blues and jazz festivals, and has top players in local house bands. To top it off, there's no shortage of touring bands that make stopping here a priority.

Get out of the Loop. Really. The Loop-which refers to the most downtown of downtown areas-has the lion's share of cultural activities, but spending a whole week here can make the town feel like just a few blocks. Most locals live elsewhere-which means the best nightlife is elsewhere. Even better, compare prices on Chicago youth hostels and you'll find better deals closer to the 'burbs.
