1. City Breaks

Florida is home to around 400 cities. The cities range from bustling metropolises to small charming environments. So there is one here that will suit you perfectly.

Jacksonville is the largest and most populous city in the region.

Miami and Orlando are the most visited by tourists. Both cities have a vibrant downtown area and are lined with palm trees and highrise buildings.

If you want a quiet escape, Mount Dora is for you. The charming town is known for its cozy stores, local festivals, and history museums.

2. Florida Beaches

With Florida’s location and 1,350 miles of coastline, it’s no wonder the state is famous for its sandy beaches.

There are countless beaches dotted up and down the state. Each one offers you something different.

South Beach offers a carnival atmosphere and a place to cool off after exploring the city. Others are more secluded, hidden in parks or woodlands.

Because of Florida’s humid subtropical climate, you can enjoy beaches all year round!

3. Theme Parks

Florida is home to one of the highest concentrations of theme parks in the world. There are hundreds of parks in the region. Some are unheard of, while others are famous around the planet.

It’s also home to ten major theme parks. You can find four Disney parks, Universal Studios, Legoland, and much more!

The best thing about the parks here is that there’s something for everyone. Thrill-seekers will enjoy Iron Gwazi, the largest coaster in the state, with a 206-foot drop. Younger kids can enjoy parks such as Peppa Pig Land or SeaWorld.

4. Explore the Outdoors

There are 11 national parks in Florida. It would be a shame not to take advantage of exploring the region’s beautiful outdoors.

The Everglades isn’t just one of the best things to do in Florida, but one of the best things to do in North America! While you’re here, you can rent a boat, hike, birdwatch, and go fishing. You can even sleep under the stars at one of two campsites here.

Even though there are popular sites here, there are plenty of parks that are off the beaten path. And the best part is that most have no entry fee!

5. The Upbeat Nightlife

Are you looking for a vodka-fueled night that spills into the early hours of the morning? What about a quiet night sipping a cocktail by the beach? Or maybe something in between both nights?

Well, whatever you’re looking for, Florida offers a night to suit any preference.

Orlando is becoming a favorite nightlife spot for locals and tourists. The city is constantly adding new and exciting bars and restaurants to the streets. Most notably, this downtown courtyard!
