Key West
Weather The weather in Florida is warm and humid most of the year, with temperatures in the low 20°C range during winter, and the low 30°C range in the summer. Many choose to travel during winter as it’s mild but still warm enough to swim outdoors. Humidity rises towards summer, and by September the rainy season has come to an end. Food for thought Whatever your taste, sample the widest choice of dining on offer, anywhere. From dining events and food tours to craft beer and burgers, Florida serves up the best in food and dining. Try the largest McDonalds in the world, or Planet Hollywood© in Orlando. Fancy a little theatre with your food? Visit one of the many dinner and show venues that are located throughout the Sunshine State. There’s seafood galore in the Florida Keys and along the Gulf Coast – with the ‘catch of the day’ served up in a host of coastal restaurants!
Sun, sea & shopping Florida’s shopping is world-famous and spending a day in an air-conditioned mall is the perfect antidote to hours of endless sun and sand. Whether you’re in the mood for high street deals or boutique chic, Florida’s malls offer the best of both worlds so why not stock up on a few souvenirs to take home whilst grabbing a quick bite to eat, all conveniently under one roof? Be sure not to miss Orlando Premium Outlets® for some designer bargains, and The Florida Mall®, located minutes from Orlando International Airport. 4
