• Chicago: As the third-largest city in the United States, this is a popular destination for visitors to Illinois. Many of the spots that visitors will head to in Chicago are in an area known as The Loop. Here you will find landmarks such as the Chicago Institute of Art and Millennium Park.
• Springfield: The state capital is another popular destination for visitors. One of the city’s claims to fame is that it once served as the home of Abraham Lincoln. Because of that, visitors will find quite a few destinations centered around the former president including the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.
• Galena: Many people refer to this town as the city that time forgot. The town sits on the banks of the Mississippi River and at one point it was a major port along the river. Today this bustling tourist mecca is a great place to stroll down the old-style Main Street where you will find plenty of shops in the old 19th-century buildings that line the street.

Because winter in this part of the world can be long and cold, locals and visitors alike truly look forward to the summer months here. This is a great time to head outdoors to places such as Matthiessen State Park or Starved Rock State Park. If you're bringing the kids with you to Illinois in the summer a trip to Raging Waves Waterpark in Yorkville might be just the ticket.
