If you're there 5 hrs, you probably land before 4. Hop in a cab, head to downtown, and walk around. If youve never been there, have them take you to Michigan and the river and just start walking north. Maybe happy hour in the signature room @hancock before you had back to the airport.
Don't take on cab! It's too extremely expensive! There is very good walking around the street in downtown Chicago. Just try to take a walk or take on the CTA bus. If you get a all-day pass. Ask for the guys who for CTA near vending machine. If you want to talk with him. He will help you to pay the fare. Go to
