With rolling hills and countless historic buildings, Galena in Northwest Illinois is the place to head for the holidays. You know you need to take time out from your daily grind and prepare, whether that means shopping or buckling down and finishing hand-made gifts. Why not enjoy yourself while you get ready for Christmas?

Our Historic Galena Inn is a good place to be. Shopping excursions are delightful when they take place along the pleasant streets of Galena, (you don’t need to travel far to take advantage of all that Artists Row has to offer). When you can’t shop anymore, restore yourself with a glass of wine and a good story or two during “Wine Time” in the parlor.

There is a festive mood at our Galena Inn.

Our holiday decorations are up, including our miniature Dept. 56 Village. Secure a spot alongside our Christmas tree while you finish that knitting project. Soak in the hot tub in the cool winter air to ease shoulders sore from bending over a scrapbook. Join others for a glass of wine to celebrate a day of work well done.

A Galena Vacation can be a bargain. We offer several packages at this time of year that make travel both more affordable and more fun. Consider the Rejuvenation Getaway, complete with massages for two, or the Midweek Getaway, which gives you 3 Nights for the price of 2.
