Capitol Building in Springfield Illinois

Springfield is the largest city in central Illinois and is considered a historical area of politics. Most foreign visitors go to Chicago when they visit Illinois, but there are some great things to do in Springfield too. And if you’re sticking around, you’re going to want some Springfield accommodation for a respite from all the fun of the city.

Did you know… President Abraham Lincoln called Springfield home and President Barack Obama studied and worked in the city during the early days of his career. Visit and you will be walking in the VERY steps they did during their time there!

Illinois has more to it than historical political endeavours though. Ignoring the Abraham libraries and museums, millions of people visit the area every year for the multitude of large festival gatherings.

From the Route 66 Mother Road Festival to the Downhome Music Festival, there’s much to celebrate. No matter your reason for visiting though, you need to secure a great hotel in Springfield!

Take a look at these and make your choice…
