      That sounds really awesome! I think it would be a good time to see Galena when it’s not so cold! If I do come back, I’ll be sure to reach out!

    It's very picturesque in the autumn, and there are fewer crowds.

      It's a very popular spot, it only took me sooo many years to visit! Winter gives the city a different feel. I can imagine this city bustling in the summertime!

    Been to Galene so many times and didn’t even know it’s history 😅

      I probably chose the coldest day to visit (in the negatives) but I still found it fascinating! Now you know you've seen one of the oldest cities in Illinois!

    Is Galena a good place to visit in winter?

    • @LukeGeeTravels
      @LukeGeeTravels  Рік тому

      I would say it’s less ideal than summer. Many attractions are closed, it can be a lot colder, but it is also much less crowded! I would say it’s a lot more lively in the summer time
