Chicago Travel Safety Guide — USA

Safety Score: 6/10 · Value: 6.5/10 · Beauty: 7.8/10

Big-shouldered and architecturally show-off, Chicago does lakefront summers, deep-dish arguments, and a blues scene that still means it. The downtown Loop and the lakeshore are the postcard; the neighbourhoods are where the city actually lives. Like any large US city, safety varies block to block, stick to busy areas at night and you'll be fine.
