Come and find out yourself. May be you would want to live here and never wish to go back.
Key West, an island city--situated between Miami and Havana, has more of a city filled with diverse population. Its town offers extremely mixed and colorful scene. It is once said to be the wealthiest of USA for its hot port and thriving industry. Here you can enjoy deep-sea fishing excursions and snorkeling. Fine restaurants, beautiful galleries, fun shops, live music, rickshaw rides, and museums of local history nestled into the tropical ambience are nice for every taste. If you are interested in the greatest military history, just poke around the ruins of Fort Zachary Taylor. You will have a good time with the smell of stale beer, loud exciting music if you are party people. Key West boasts its carnival of portrait artists, acrobats, animal acts on the docks. Wonderful prime sunset-view can be observed right on the bar-on the water. It is a city no one cares how eccentric and outrageous you are, it respects whatever you are. So gay-eccentric here is norm.
Key West is the home of the perennial vacation. The best time to come is from mid-December through March. Temperature is nice not too hot or too cold. But the crowd is overwhelming in season and price goes up.
You can choose to come in summer- the second high season here. Hotels and shops drastically drop their prices. Good deal will definitely be made if you can stand the hot.
Sunny day and fun with enough sights would keep you busy. Among so many top attractions, Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum must rank the first. It is particularly a handsome stone Spanish Colonial house built in 1851 and now is a museum dedicated to his life and works. In this house he wrote a of lot famous works, such as For whom the Bell Tolls, A Farewell to Arms, and The Snows of Kilimanjaro... Here you can discover many anecdotes about the author's life, his inspirations for his characters-his love for life.
Another must-see is Captain Tony's Saloon-the best bar in Key West. It is old, dark and funky. There's no need for it to be anything but actually it is born to be a cool place to hang out with live music. You will have a lot of good time there. And one thing you can't miss is that it is what Hemingway frequently used in his novels.
Shopping is so interesting here. Key West is a walker's paradise and it contains dozens of characterless T-shirt shops, art galleries and curiosity shops. You can find everything from handmade jewelry to hand-rolled cigars at the intriguing outdoor-indoor marked at the city's port.
Days are so busy and tiring when traveling especially when you are a new comer here. So a comfortable bed can help you a lot to revive after an exhausting day. Key West has a lot of good accommodation for you to choose.
Banyan Resort ranks the highest for travelers. Rooms are nice£¬well kept with a small kitchen where you can cook your own meal and make coffee. You can have a quiet night relaxing by its pool where you can have a sense of tranquility and sense of well-being. Staffs there are very friendly and accommodating. It has a very good location that makes it easier to get to other sites.
