To Chicago and Back (Bulgarian: До Чикаго и назад, romanized: Do Chikago i nazad) is a travel book written by Bulgarian writer Aleko Konstantinov in 1894, describing his visit to the United States in order to see the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893.
Konstantinov had previous experience with travel abroad – he had visited the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1889 and the General Land Centennial Exhibition in Prague in 1891.
At the time, the Principality of Bulgaria had been free from the Ottoman Empire for less than 20 years, the country was still less developed than Western Europe and relatively few Bulgarians had had the chance to travel abroad.
A customs clerk fails to understand the group's nationality, and when Bulgaria is pointed out to him on a map, he writes it down as Turkey, causing amusement and derision among the Bulgarians.
Most of the book describes his stay in the United States, especially Chicago, but also talks about other sites such as Niagara Falls.
