Personal Security and Health

Chicago is a friendly city, and most visitors do not encounter
any problems. However, it is always best to take common-
sense precautions and be aware of your surroundings. If
you don’t feel safe, you probably aren’t. Public transportation
is generally safe during the day, but after dark you may feel
more comfortable taking a taxi. The best source of
information is often your hotel concierge. Don’t hesitate
to ask if you think your destination or day’s itinerary might
take you into unsavory neighborhoods. Bear in mind that
