Question

Any tips on driving into the city?

Answer

If you have an I-Pass, EZ-Pass or SunPass account, you can use these to pay the tolls using your transponder or license plate on file. Otherwise, you can pay online after your trip here: https://www.illinoistollway.com/paybyplate . To avoid traffic coming into Chicago, leaving earlier in the day is always better!
