Chicago Mini Guide

Chicago is an iconic American city, second only to New York in popularity. On the shoreline of Lake Michigan it has hundreds of things for the energetic tourist to experience. The centre is quite compact and you could visit the sky scraper district or the ’Loop Art’ tour that visits the outdoor art and sculpture of the city. For more culture, park your hire car on the Museum Campus and visit such delights as the Adler Planetarium.

Car rental can also be collecting with Rhino Car Hire from O'Hare International Airport which is located some 20 kilometres out of town and serves both the domestic and long haul traveller.
