Or, just a relaxing stroll down one of the streets or a hop onto Galena Trolley tours is a wonderful way to spend some time.

  • Romantic Galena B&B's - there are some very classic and quaint lodging choices for a bed and breakfast in Galena. A couple of nights in a rustic, turn-of-the-century historic inn here will add some romance to your Illinois weekend getaway.
