The city sponsors a free trolley service for visitors to the city. It circles the downtown area making stops a popular tourist attractions.
It's an easy way to get to Navy Pier, the Magnificent Mile, etc. Just be warned the free trip is not always the swiftest way to get around but it is certainly worth the price.

Lingo Tip #6
The "Loop" refers generically to the downtown area of Chicago. Roughly the Loop boundrys are the river on the North, river on the West, lakefront on the east and Roosevelt Road on the south. More specically the Loop is a reference to the above ground Chicago Transit train tracks that make a loop around the downtown district.
