The Magnificent Mile is 13 blocks long and features 460 stores – so plan your day carefully. Crowds are heaviest in the evenings, weekends and around the holiday season. Shop on weekday mornings or afternoons for best results, and consult a map before you begin so that you don’t have to backtrack. And of course, wear comfortable shoes!
As with any big city, Chicago requires street smarts to keep you safe and happy. Keep your handbag closed and pay extra attention in crowded places, where pickpockets tend to strike. Avoid any street games of chance (they’re rigged) and know where you are going.
