Visiting Belleville

Rid yourself of the idea of itineraries; for as with life, Belleville is best experienced when you are your own guide. A stroll down the city’s tree-lined Main Street evokes the slower, soothing pace of Midwestern life. Barbecue restaurants will beckon you with the smell of tangy, slow-cooked brisket or pulled pork. With the nearby historic district’s quaint brick cottages and Victorian houses, the area is one of the best for Belleville hotels. You also might find yourself lured to the nearby Eckert’s Belleville Farm by the scent of freshly baked apple pies wafting through the air, or the delectable farm-to-table fare.

If you feel the pull of the road, choose from one of our car rentals in Belleville, IL and make your way along the Great River Road, a tangle of routes running along the illustrious Mississippi River to destinations unknown.
