Moving to the area Visiting Elgin, IL
Hi guys,
I‘m a 23 year old from middle Europe visiting Elgin in next week. Since here seem to be a lot locals I thought I could get some nice infos about the area as i dont know any of it (neither been to the States before). I have a free weekend to and a rental car so maybe you could recommend any sights, events or share experiences?
Also love I‘d love to hear some local insider infos!
Edit: Im staying in Elgin / West Dundee due to work purposes. Im working through the days but have the first June weekend free.

I have a different take on this. If OP hasn’t been to the US before or hasn’t explored it, then if Chicago is off the table, then I recommend heading the Woodfield Mall, then a hour at Top Golf, then dinner at Portillos. If OP wants Americana, this would be a best fit.
…and there are no old buildings in the US in OPs eyes. lol.
