Cabs are a little pricey in Chicago, walking, as long as it's not frigid cold or raining, is really your best form of transport. The CTA (CHicago transit authority) is pretty inexpensive, but depends on how many times you plan on getting on and off the train (SOme cities have day passes for tourists - and it's flat rate that you can use the trains as much as you want -- not sure if Chicago does.)

If you've never been before, either the Sears tower or the hancock tower are both worh seeing -- if it's a clear day that is - the views are impressive - though the sears tower i think is about 10 - 15 bucks.

The art institute, if you are into that kind of thing, is worth an afternoon exploring.. otherwise - there's a boat tour you can do of the architecture of chicago (that's very cool)
Have fun - _Chicago is a neat city...
