Welcome to Springfield



Fall -- the last chance to get out and enjoy outdoor fun and recreation before the frigidity of winter sets in. Whether your wanting to stop by one of our famed Abraham Lincoln site, check out our slew of fall festivals or take a walk on a leaf-covered trail at Lincoln Memorial Garden (pictured at left), count on City Guide Springfield to find out where to go, what to do and where to eat in Illinois' capital city.

Check out out the listings on this page for information on tourist attractions, dining and entertainment options.
