10 Best American Cities to Vacation In
10. Key West, Florida
Known for warm beaches and eccentric residents with a live-in-the-moment philosophy, this unique resort located in the Florida Keys offers a relaxed yet unexpected seaside adventure. Do as the residents (known as Conchs) do and see where that free spirit might take you. Perhaps you’ll end up at a Duval Street bar, in a Mallory Square shop or even touring Ernest Hemingway’s old home.
Or maybe you’ll skip all four activities. Key West once threatened to go rogue (in 1980 with a mock secessionist movement to create “The Conch Republic”); so this is definitely the place to throw a firm itinerary out the window. Take a stroll, sip a margarita, spy a six-toed cat and set your own pace.
Cuba is only 90 miles away, and with the thawing of the US-Cuba relations you may soon be able to hop on a boat and get your favorite rum and cigars in a matter of couple hours.
