Key West is the southernmost City in the continental US. Key West is closer to Cuba than Miami. This helps give Key West its unique flair. In 1870 Key West was the richest city in Florida. Wealthy ship wreckers and captains built there Conch Houses in the 1900's, most of them still stand today. The Florida Keys are famous for harboring such historical luminaries as playwright Tennessee Williams, novelist Ernest Hemingway, and bird-chronicler John James Audubon. In truth, aspiring artists continue to be drawn to the Keys. They come not just for the spectacular sunsets and stunning wildlife but for the free-spirited way of life embodied by the Keys. That spirit is evident at the many festivals and events you will find. You'll find that the Keys are rich in cultural opportunities.
Only in Key West does the sun shine so brilliant when it sets. Everyone gathers for the never planned, always varied Sunset Celebration on the Mallory Dock. Once the sun is safely tucked away by jugglers, mimes, musicians and street artists, the city moves on to a different beat, a night beat. The streets filled with sidewalk cafes, open-air bars, legendary pubs and world-class restaurants, come alive. Drama, musicals and comedy flourish on our stages. As you enjoy these sights, you'll discover that modern Key West is a warm-hearted place where all are truly welcome.
 In Key West you can use convenient public transportation. There are busses, trolleys, conch tour train and bikes to rent. Walking is also very enjoyable when strolling through old Key West, enjoying the tropical island flair. Enjoy places like the Historic Shipwreck Museum, the Hemingway House, the Lighthouse, the Historic Seaport and much more.
If you’ve had enough of an overcrowded and weary world, the islands of the Lower Keys are the place for you. Here, you can snorkel or dive over the Looe Key coral reef, ride a bicycle through Key Deer country, or take a fishing adventure in the back country or troll the deep blue waters beyond the reef. At the end of the day, you can trade stories with family and friends at one of this area's tiki bars, RV parks, campgrounds, quaint resorts or licensed vacation homes.
