Enjoy Chicago for Free
Gas prices are getting ridiculous, and they’re affecting everything from airplane tickets to the cost of food. Fortunately, Chicago has plenty of attractions you can enjoy for little to no money. Just a walk down Michigan Avenue can be a tourist’s delight.
This week, the b5media Travel & Culture Channel is celebrating a Theme Day, featuring the photogenic side of our blogs. With that in mind, I present a few fantastic photos of eight great places you can visit for free here in the Windy City.
5. Oak Street Beach
4. Grant Park

Fare cards, transit cards, and 30-day, 7-day, or Visitor Passes offer lower fares and faster boarding. Also, Chicago has plenty of reasonably priced restaurants and budget-friendly attractions. […]
