Chicago Ultimate Getaway from Montreal
Independent one-way rail getaway from Montreal to Chicago
Amtrak Vacations runs this 5-day independent rail vacation one-way from Montreal to Chicago. Amtrak's Adirondack and Lake Shore Limited trains carry travelers in Coach class, including 1 night onboard the train, before 3 nights in a Chicago hotel. The package includes a Chicago CityPASS with VIP entry to Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum, a fast pass to SkyDeck Chicago, and a choice between the Museum of Science and Industry or 360 Chicago, and between the Adler Planetarium or the Art Institute of Chicago. A multi-day hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour of the city is also included. The operator does not publish a day-by-day itinerary, so the exact split between the overnight train ride and time in Chicago is not detailed here. This is a one-way package; return travel is not included. It suits travelers starting in Montreal who want a train-based route into Chicago's museums and landmarks without booking each leg separately.
