How far is Chicago from Boston driving?

I live in Chicago, and I’ve never been to Boston, so I’ve decided I’m going to visit. How long will it take for me to get there?

It’s always worth it to explore a new place, and Boston is a great city for anyone to visit! The drive from
Chicago
to
Boston
is 983 miles, which should take 15 to 16 hours to complete if you’re going from downtown to downtown. The travel time will depend on how frequently you stop.
Try your best to plan your arrival and departure times carefully, so you don’t have to deal with
rush-hour traffic
in either direction. With such a long drive, the safest thing to do is to stop regularly to rest and refocus.
Once you get to Boston, you’ll want to make sure you make the most out of
the trip
. Some fun attractions in Boston include:
  • Fenway Park
  • The Freedom Trail
  • The John F. Kennedy Presidential Museum
After you’ve finished up in Boston, it will take you around the same amount of time to return to Chicago.
If you haven’t revisited your car insurance in a while, there is a good chance that you are overspending.
