CHICAGODecember 6, 2024
Christmas in Chicago is one for the books. Though it is not a winter wonderland like that of NYC or Colorado, its Christmas spirit is not lacking.
This trip was for me and my boyfriend’s one year anniversary. That combined with Chi Town being a big city, this was not the most budget-friendly trip, but was absolutely worth every penny. Let’s dive in!
Where to Stay
My boyfriend and I stayed at Voco Downtown. It was well located, convenient and the staff was extremely accommodating and kind. Another suggestion I would have is the Athletic hotel. Though I have never stayed here, we visited this hotel multiple times due to its incredible location and wide range of activities in the building that will be addressed on the next paragraph.
What To Do
Our first adventure began at the Lincoln Park Zoo with some truly breathtaking light displays. Admission is between $7-10 per person and they offer many drinks including peppermint hot chocolate and mulled wine.
Where To Eat
Getting Around
Uber was our best option for further locations with no issues. When we could, we walked to most places with ease (as long as we were properly prepped for the intense wind chill).
