Chicago Getaway Roundtrip from Denver

Independent 5-day Chicago getaway roundtrip by rail from Denver

Chicago Getaway Roundtrip from Denver, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations packages this 5-day roundtrip getaway between Denver and Chicago. Travellers ride Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited in Coach class both ways, with rail travel included in the price. The package covers 2 nights of hotel accommodations in Chicago and a multi-day hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour of the city. No day-by-day itinerary is published, so the split between travel days and time in Chicago is not detailed here. This suits independent travellers who are comfortable with a longer rail journey bookending a short city stay, and who want to fill in their own schedule around one included sightseeing tour rather than follow a guided plan.
