Florida
What you need to know before you go
Florida is the southernmost state in the US, offering year-round sun, spare-no-expense theme park attractions and a relaxed multi-cultural vibe. You could easily claim that Florida has more things to do for families than anywhere else in the US.
Miami is the largest city in Florida, blending Downtown’s glass and steel skyscrapers with a party beach culture. Orlando is a magnet for family-friendly fun – enjoy theme parks by day and exciting dinner shows by night. The swamplands in the south of Florida offer many exciting tours out on the Everglades, and the Florida Keys offer some of the most stunning beaches you’re likely to find.
