Introduction
With Chicago as the gateway to a world of new experiences, Illinois is a magnificent destination catering to every kind of traveler. Visitors in search of a city break with a laid-back feel will find the best of both worlds in Chicago, an inviting city built for all seasons with world-class museums, more than 29 miles of lakefront fun, legendary blues, and award-winning dining and accommodations. Then there are the shops along Michigan Avenue (“The Magnificent Mile™”) and Oak Street, and the 250 local designers found in neighborhood boutiques; the unsurpassed architecture that international cities marvel at; free downtown and neighborhood festivals with the world’s best musicians and performers; and the city’s commitment to a greener environment.
Travel beyond Chicago and you’ll understand why the Associated Press declared Illinois the “most American state.” Marvel at the genius of architect Frank Lloyd Wright and his innovative style at the turn-of-the-century structures in Oak Park. Stroll through the Anderson Japanese Gardens in Rockford and be sure to stop and see Jane and Homer – a juvenile T.Rex and triceratops found at the Burpee Museum. Cruise “The Mother Road,” Route 66, on your way to Springfield for a chance to relive history at interactive exhibits found in the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.
See the mighty Mississippi while following the Great River Road and learn how bread goes from the field to your local store at the John Deere Visitors Center in Moline. Relax in Galena sipping some Illinois wine while the sun sets or follow the Illinois Wine Trail in southern Illinois and spend the night at a local B&B.
Go to Illinois and go beyond your expectations!
