Galena Country Tourism

Stepping onto Galena’s Main Street is like something out of a movie. Looking much like it did when President Grant strolled the streets, the buildings are now home to more than 125 independently-owned businesses. The aroma of freshly popped gourmet popcorn, hand-dipped chocolates, and chargrilled burgers fill the air as you make your way in and out of exquisite boutique shops. While exploring Galena’s downtown, be sure to indulge in mouthwatering culinary flavors. From fine dining to gourmet grilled cheese – Galena Country checks all the boxes for a foodie paradise. Taste and tour your way through the county at alluring wineries, a distillery and craft breweries. Glide through the air at speeds of up to 40 mph on a zip line, or partake in one of the many race events. Paddle your way down the Galena River or speed down the Alpine Slide overlooking the mighty Mississippi. Home to twenty parks and trails, it’s easy to unplug and reconnect with nature. Full of infinite opportunities, from cemetery walks to hot air balloon races to incredible parades and magical holiday festivities. There’s always something to discover in Galena Country!
