Florida

Florida is one of America's most visited countries due to its eye-pleasing beaches, adrenaline-gushing theme parks, majestic national parks, and several exclusive tourist attractions. Families fly to Orlando to entertain the children with amusement park experiences. Most go to the coastal towns such as Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and a variety of cities along the southern gulf shore.

Why should you visit Florida?

Like this tropical State's sun, parties never end here. Miami Beach is renowned for its brilliant night-clubs like LIV, Club space, Story, E11EVEN, which are open 24 hours a day and full of sexy strippers — most of the brunch. The party goes on. Long after closed the theme parks, the nightlife in Orlando is pulsating with a host of dancing clubs, top-class bars, and lounges in Disney's Play Island, CityWalk's Universal Studios, and Orange Avenue downtown.

The peninsula of Florida is abundant in flora and fauna. Bird species, various snakes, new fish and saltwater fish, bottlenose dolphins, alligators, crocodiles, and the Florida panther survive on the Sawgrass Mounts and Mangrove Forests of the Everglades National Park. It is possible to see birds at more than 500 sites throughout the world, and tens of thousands of monarch butterflies fill Florida's skies during its migration from Canada into Mexico.

The beaches are located all over the peninsula with a thousand miles of sweet white sand and soft, teal-blue waters offering relaxation and a dreamy Florida sunset. Daytona Beach is a spring breaker's hotbed, while Fort Myers Beach on the western coast provides a more relaxed location for holidays. Sanibel and the island of Captiva are famous for fishing and spotting dolphins, while Naples promises fantastic golf courses and luxurious guest restaurants in Mexico's gulf.

Florida shopping centers for visitors and the locals are equally appropriate for all budgets of shops. Luxurious boutiques at Bal Harbor Shops are home to designer names like Cartier and Chanel, and outlet centers are almost all of Florida's major cities, including Orlando, Miramar, and Sunrise.

What should you explore in Florida?

There is no spot like Disney World in Orlando for the ultimate theme park experience. Disney's charm has not been rubbed out over the years, as the Magic Kingdom and several other attractions of this amusement park are visited by millions annually. Over the years, the number of activities to do and do has expanded and now contains an extensive list well beyond the conventional theme parks.

One of Florida's most thrilling, exciting, and interactive destinations is the Kennedy Spatial Hub. Located on the Space Coast of Florida, this massive complex has made history for space exploration. You will currently see rocks and the Atlantis Space Shuttle, visit an astronaut and hear about space missions. The Visitor Complex of the Kennedy Space Center is arranged into mission areas, each containing interesting displays focusing on particular topics.

The Universal Studios is a fabulous experience, and a return to Walt Disney World always comes to a close for many people. This immense entertainment park provides numerous spectacular tours, and leisure sets focused on famous shows and movies. This is one of the safest places for families with older children or teens to visit. The newest amusement park, Universal's Volcano Bay, offers impressive 3D and 4D simulator rides, exciting rides, wet and wild drives. Tamer tours for little kids can also be found.

SeaWorld Orlando is a super fun park and is a big part of Florida's family holiday for a long. The complex houses its classic dolphin shows and whale shows, as well as unforeseen acts, from cats and canards to otters and sea lions.

Antarctica, the Penguin kingdom, and a number of other aquariums displays offer all kinds of aquatic life. Other highlights include the Antarctic. The SeaWorld also features thrill attractions, including the mako high-speed rolling coaster and the Atlantis Water Slide.

Due to its position at the end of the island chain, most tourists entering the Keys find Key West their top destination. Fortunately, one of the Florida Keys highlights is a leisurely walk down Duval Street in Key West. Outside courtyards and shops, many in old buildings that have been beautifully renovated, line the street. Often, no matter the year's time, there is a lively atmosphere, particularly on days when cruise ships are coming to the port.

The beaches on the Gulf Coast of Florida are some of the finest in the USA. The water here is warm, usually quiet, often shallow, unlike its counterparts on the Atlantic Ocean. Beach resorts in this section are popular destinations for holidays. Some of the best beaches in Naples are found up and down this coast. The historic Naples Pier is next to the powdery beach, crystal blue waters, and living rooms.

When is the best time to visit Florida?

Florida's best season of the year is in spring or autumn. During the winter school holidays and the Spring and Easter Vacations, you'll see the best of the State as you drive on those off-peak days. In terms of the season, Florida's central areas such as Orlando and Kissimmee are better visited from January to April. The temperature is mild but not uncomfortable, and there is almost no rain. There are still very few crowds of attractions, such as Disney World and Universal Studios. You should expect hot and damp weather in the summer, which is about 92 F high. The rainy season starts in June and finishes in early October – the perfect time to travel at lower prices and better offers.
