Illinois is known as the Prairie State thanks to its expansive farmland, rolling hills, and picturesque forests. There's an abundance of natural beauty to be enjoyed, from the wineries of Galena to the incredible Garden of the Gods. Add to that the fact that Illinois is home to one of the largest cities in the US: Chicago. The city contrasts a modern skyline of towering skyscrapers with calming views over Lake Michigan. It's one of the country's most lively hubs for art, culture, and nightlife.
