St.Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland and is also significant in Chicago due to its large number of Irish immigrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"was-kann-man-in-chicago-unternehmen\">What to do in Chicago?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like New York, you&#8217;ll love Chicago even more! This city of millions on Lake Michigan combines a big-city feeling with a relaxed lifestyle and a high recreational value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can plunge into the huge skyscraper canyons, admire the fascinating architecture or enjoy the rich mix of art and culture. And don&#8217;t even get me started on the selection of good restaurants: Chicago is not only the birthplace of the amazing Deep Dish Pizza, but also a real paradise for foodies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wie-teuer-ist-chicago\">How expensive is Chicago?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all American cities, Chicago is not particularly cheap. Especially good food (if you don&#8217;t want to live exclusively on fast food) and the entrance fees for the most important sights can strain your travel budget. With the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehappyjetlagger.com\/en\/chicago-city-pass-review\/\">Chicago City Pass<\/a> you can save quite some money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chicago is not exactly cheap when it comes to hotels either.
