KEY WEST
Whether you drive or fly into Key West, one thing’s
for sure: there’s simply no place quite like it. An island city
of palm-lined streets boasting Victorian homes, gingerbread conch houses
and mansions on the National Register. John Audubon and Ernest Hemingway
lived here. One had a passion for preservation. The other, a great zest
for living. And that combination gives Key West its unique personality.
The moment you get on world-famous Duval Street, in Old Town Key West,
you do more than feel the ambiance. You become a part of it. Sure, Key
West is dive shops and charter boats. And glorious sunsets. But it’s
also a Bahamian Village. Historic Forts. Lighthouses. Theaters. Museums.
Galleries. Festivals. Markets. Sidewalk cafes. Legendary pubs. Even
Truman’s Little Whitehouse. At Key West you can buy a postcard
or a famous handprint. You don’t need a car. Tour the city on
foot or by trolley. Mingle with some of the world’s most fun-loving
characters. And find some of the best-made cigars and aloe products
anywhere. Key West is unique. And unspoiled. A feast for your heart
and your soul. In short, if you’re planning on visiting Key West,
plan on staying longer than anticipated.   Click on maps to enlarge.
