Downtown Chicago is only 1.5 hr. from South Bend, IN. It is highly recommended to take the train or bus from SBN airport. If driving, make sure to bring cash/coins for the toll road! P.S. The best pizza is in Chicago! Visit Cynthia’s favorite deep dish pizza restaurant: Giordano’s. Make sure to order an appetizer as the pizzas can take up to 40 mins. to make!
