Some of our Favorite Things to do in Key West!

 

 

Conch Train and Old Town Trolley

The Conch Train depot is at the foot of Duval Street.  Trolley stops are all around town. Check out www.HistoricTours.com for more information.

 

Duval Street

Duval Street is the hub of Key West shopping, dining, nightlife, and sightseeing.  Stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico, Duval offers a mile and a half of galleries, restaurants, shops, bars, nightclubs, and plenty of people watching.  There is always live music playing somewhere and good food being served.  From 9am to 4am every day, the street embodies the diversity of Key West from highly refined to completely deprived of good taste. 

 

The Southernmost Point in the USA

Key West is the southernmost city in the continental USA.  The Southernmost Point, located at the southern end of Whitehead Street, is the official marker and a good place to document your visit with a photograph.

 

 

 

 

Mallory Square

Mallory Square is a public plaza at the western end of the island and is the gathering spot for the daily sunset celebration, complete with music, and a full contingent of performance artists.  Plan to arrive at least 45 minutes before sunset for this free daily show.

 

The Historic District

Key West was founded as a trading settlement in 1825, and is one of the oldest cities in Florida .  Several hundred nineteenth century buildings remain, with typical island architecture that includes wood siding, tin roofs, gingerbread trim, and shuttered windows.  The oldest part of the City was added to the National Register of Historic Places by the US Department of the Interior in 1983.  Locally referred to as  "Old Town", this western-most portion of the island is where you will find the Historic Key West Inns and all of the places of interest listed here.
