Top Illinois Tours, Tickets & Activities

Illinois has been an important U.S. social, cultural, and political center, a critical national transportation hub, and a source of great agricultural and industrial production since the 1800s. Modern visitors encounter historical highlights like the Lincoln Home National Historic Site and the Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, the state capital where young President Abraham Lincoln practiced law and was elected to the legislature. You can also see houses that made up part of the underground railroad for runaway slaves, travel classic Route 66, and enjoy the sights, sounds, architecture, food, and countless other attractions of Chicago, the third most populous U.S. city.
