Day trips from Chicago

Romantic trips for two from Chicago

Chicago has a ton of stuff for couples to do, but sometimes you just want to get out of town for the day. Here are our picks for the top three best day trips from the Chicago area.

Door County, WI

This little peninsula is chock full of charming lighthouses, beaches, museums, and more. The rustic landscape also offers some outstanding fall color, perfect for a crisp fall afternoon getaway.

Michigan wine country

Southwest Michigan is home to a ton of small, locally-owned wineries, and is there any better couple’s vacation than a winery tour?

Lake Geneva, WI

From skiing in winter to mansion tours all year round, Lake Geneva has earned its title as “Chicago’s Playground.” Things can get crowded at the height of the summer tourist season, but there are opportunities for fun all year round.
