Chicago keeps you on your feet, with so many things to do and so many sights to see. It’s soaked in history and culture that it’s hard to find extra time to do everything there is to do in a single visit. It’s that kind of place you would want to come back to over and over again.

One great way to maximize your visit to Chicago is to download apps that would make it easier for you to get around and stay updated about what’s going on around the city. Here are a few apps we’ve picked out for you to get you started:

• Chicago Travel Guide by Triposo

It even allows you to book your hotels straight from the app. The offline map is also a huge help as you try to lay out your entire itinerary.

• NightOwl

If you’re a night person and are looking for great places to hang out once the sun sets, then NightOwl is the perfect place for you.

Searching for the things you want in an ideal location is also easy, as you can use tags to find anything.

• Is Metra Late

Trains are a great way to go around the city, but convenient as it is, it does have its own set of flaws as well. For example, different circumstances could cause some trains to be late. This could spell disaster for you, especially if you already have a carefully planned itinerary that you would like to follow to the last second. To make sure the train you want to catch won’t cause you any delay, download the Is Metra Late app. It shows you which trains might be late so that you can adjust your plans as early as possible.

• Universal Taxi App

Going from point A to point B around Chicago is still easiest when you take a cab. Through the Universal Taxi app, you can have a cab driver pick you up wherever you are and drop you off no matter where you’re going. Even better, you can schedule trips to make it easier for you to plan your schedule. The cabbies are also extremely friendly and knowledgeable around the city, so you may even have the chance to get yourself your own tour guide around the city. That’s hitting quite a few birds with one stone!
