Illinois Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

Our Take on Illinois

Illinois - Chicago is definitely a top destination, but there are plenty of other must sees in Illinois. First stop Galena, a long time secret getaway for locals: B & Bs, antiques, specialty shops and a winery. It is the perfect romantic getaway or day out with family and friends. Next stop the "Heart of Illinois", Peoria; walk historic Moss Avenue, picnic along Grand View Drive, peruse specialty shops on the redeveloped riverfront, and take the kids to Wildlife Prairie Park. Explore the state capital, Springfield's, rich historic past. Don't miss Abraham Lincoln Library and Presidential Museum. Nature lovers visit Starved Rock, Shawnee National Forest and the Shelbyville Moraines for some of the most beautiful scenery in the Midwest.
