Illinois is widely famous for Chicago, which many people call “The Windy City.” However, the state has so much more to offer than Chicago. For starters, you can relive late 20th-century American history by driving through the world-renowned US Route 66. This long stretch of this highway features many classic diners and drive-in theaters. If you are a nature lover, you will also love the breathtaking outdoor scenery throughout the state. Particularly, you should visit Great Rivers Country, where you will find many quaint towns, rolling vineyards, and steamboats. Exploring the state can be taxing, so having a restful nightcap means a lot. Discover where you can stay and take a look at these lofts for rent in Illinois, USA.
