Top 5 Must Visit Places in Floria
1. Walt Disney World
| The first name hit the chart ranked by Lonelyplanet.com is undoubtedly Walt Disney World. No matter how much of a hard-core traveller you claim to be, there’s something here that will soften you – something that will spark your inspiration and imagination. Maybe it’s the children’s awestruck faces illuminated by the fireworks above Cinderella’s Castle. Maybe it’s a particular turn in a particular ride. Maybe it’s the corny (but endearing) joke told by the guy who drives the horse-drawn carriage down Main Street. Whatever it is, once you’re there, you’ll admit it. |

2. Miami
Tripstodiscover.com gives their praise to Miami which is famous for the parties, beautiful people and one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. This is Florida’s most vibrant melting pot of culture and an epicentre of fun. A perfect combination of culture, language, and fine dining, Miami knows how to appreciate the finer things in life with endless entertainment and cultural activities. Join the revelry on South Beach, visit the graffiti art at Wynwood, or explore diverse underwater marine life at Key Biscayne. Don’t forget to visit the alligator-filled swamps of the Everglades National Park and catch a glimpse of Florida’s most pristine natural ecosystem.

3. St Augustine
Saunter along cobbled roads, linger at charming cafes and learn about the city’s rich history at countless museums. Cap it all off with dinner at a gas lamp-lit restaurant and a horse-drawn carriage ride through the Historic District. Europe? Oh wait, we’re in Florida. Epcot? No way, this is the real deal. Founded by the Spanish in 1565, St Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the US, preserved for centuries and awaiting your discovery.

4. Key West
Feeling like mainland Florida is just too tame for your taste? Time to ship out to Key West, where the high- and low-brow mix it up with a devil-may-care attitude. There’s always a party to be found here, and the vibe is decidedly tolerant: the Key West motto is 'One Human Family', which translates to acceptance and mutual respect for people of all colours and religions, gays, straights, and everything in between. It’s all love – and rum punch – here.

5. The Everglades
Often dismissed as a swamp, the Everglades are arguably more beautiful than all the sin and flash Miami can produce. Forget what you’ve heard about airboats and swamp buggies. Come and canoe, bike, kayak or walk around the park. Get to understand the delicate ecosystem that has endured forever here. Stand still long enough to see an alligator’s back surfacing above the black water and take in the unbroken vistas of wet prairie, big sky and long silences.
