Michigan City is a fairly small city overlooking Lake Michigan, positioned about fifty miles east of Chicago and forty miles west of South Bend. Historically one of Indiana’s most vibrant communities, Michigan City maintains a thriving local culture with museums, breweries, a casino, and numerous popular performance venues providing endless options for your downtime.
The waterfront location gives the city a beautiful scenic quality, and both the lake itself and the nearby Indiana Dunes are popular recreation venues for locals and visitors alike. The South Shore Line offers affordable rail service to both Chicago and South Bend, allowing you to travel to two of the Midwest’s most distinctive cities without having to drive.
