Whether you come to Chicago by train, plane or automobile Two Urns offers a wonderful respite in the historic Wicker Park neighborhood "It is hopeless for the occasional visitor to try to keep up with Chicago. She outgrows his prophecies faster than he can make them. She is always a novelty; for she is never the Chicago you saw when you passed through the last time." Mark Twain In This page you will find ideas, links to Tours, Museums, and other Chicago travel attractions; as well as information about travel and transportation in the city. If visiting relatives in Chicago, avoid sleeping on the floor in the mattress: Get your own room with private bath and Jacuzzi. After a day's visit retire, relax and enjoy an evening seated by the fireplace. The business traveler will find in Two Urns a great place to work and relax with Free local calls, fax, wi-fi and DSL internet/computer; a great place to chill in Chicago's hottest neighborhood, Wicker Park. Take a weekend away from it all without leaving Chicago: check yourself into one of our apartments bring a good book, choose a movie from our extensive DVD collection; order great Chinese food from "PAPAJIN," soak in the Jacuzzi and sleep late.

Michael Carlson's "Schwa" is just 5 blocks away in a very unpretentious storefront. If you are desperately seeking
SUE, you will find her at the Field Museum of Natural History:
Sue is the most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex in the world
and the museum is an architectural jewel not to be missed. Spend a whole day,
bring walking shoes and camera. Walk a few steps to the Sheed
Aquarium or the Planetarium and take in the most
magnificent view of the Chicago from inside the Lake. Read a review by a guest: REVIEW We really don't recommend renting a car if you are staying in the city to sightsee, visit museums or shop - Public transit is convenient and affordable and the Blue line subway, 3 bus lines and a taxicab stand are only 1.5 blocks from our front door. Only if you are heading out of the city to visit relatives or other venues might you need to rent a car to make it more convenient for you during your stay. There is an Enterprise rental car agency nearby on North Milwaukee Avenue (They are the ones that pick you up) and it makes it easier than sitting in hours of traffic to and from the airports or paying $25 parking lot fees every time you move your car. Check-in is by appointment. If you are unable to arrive on time, please call us to re-arrange a mutually convenient time to arrive. We are not always at home and our staff may not be in hearing range of the door bell at all hours of the day. "Check-in is a two-way street and communication the key to an open door."
