If you're looking for an all-American experience, there's no better way to get it than touring its legendary Route 66. The iconic Illinois strait boasts classic-style restaurants, drive-in movie theaters, and quirky roadside attractions. And in Springfield for example, you'll always be close to monuments and attractions dedicated to the life of Abraham Lincoln. Chicago is the capital of this state, is located next to Lake Michigan, and is among the largest cities in the United States. It is world-famous for its adventurous and daring architecture: here were created the first skyscrapers, and has some of the most prominent as the Willis Tower, which has 110 floors, and the current neo-Gothic is the Tribune Tower. The famous city is also known for its museums, such as the Art Institute of Chicago, which exhibits very outstanding works of various currents among which the surrealists stand out. If you want to leave a record of your visit to Chicago, head to Millennium Park: there you can have your photo taken with The Bean in the background. It's a huge sculpture of nearly 100 tons of steel and is known as the Cloud Gate, whose distorted reflection, by artist Anish Kapoor, is probably the most photographed spot in Millennium Park. Tour its workshops and production houses, sample its delicacies and browse the craft stores, small breweries, distilleries, winemakers, and farmers who bring prosperity to this state. From tantalizing gourmet popcorn and innovative espresso drinks to art, jewelry, and furniture created from recycled materials or polished stone, you're sure to discover dishes, drinks, and souvenirs, unlike anything you've experienced before. The food is another plus. If you attend Vintage Illinois you can savor wines poured by more than 30 wineries from around the state, held at scenic Matthiessen State Park in September. Sample local brews in the Shawnee National Forest, located in southern Illinois. Pair this experience with zip-lining, hiking, and views of the rock formations in the Garden of the Gods. Because if you like organic, Illinois is the place for organic produce and you can visit Prairie Fruits Farma & Creamery and enjoy a backyard barbecue, learn about their beverage production and visit their orchard.
