Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have used Frommer's guide books since Europe on $20.00 a day and can't begin to tell you how many things that I have 'discovered' through them. This is the brand new 2011 Chicago edition and again, I have found many unexpected things to do and see on my upcoming first trip to Chicago. One of my 'great discoveries" is a huge light store, not far from where we will be staying! That may sound silly, but local things like that, really make our trips. I've checked them outline and found that they ship for free when purchases are made in the store - so one guess what I hope to purchase and have sent home.
Of course there are the usual restaurants, hotels, museums, sights etc... everything to better plan our trip. I've read this edition cover to cover and each time discover new things. From past experiences, I have found that Frommers gives fairly accurate descriptions of hotels and restaurants, and I add a few dollars more towards cost, as even in a new edition, prices are probably at least one year old. The fold out map, leave something to be desired - the print is very small and would be a pain to read while standing on the street, or in a dim light.
There are so many things to do and see in Chicago and books like this, become your personal introduction.
If you are only going to buy one Chicago guidebook (I go overboard), I would recommend the new Fodor's 2011 Chicago edition, but if you want more than one, even though they are similar, then get Frommer's too.
