Sarasota
What you need to know before you go
Sarasota is the gateway to some of Florida’s most heavenly beaches, but the city itself is packed with equally luminous culture. You’ll discover the history of the great Ringling circus performers – their venetian-inspired mansion, Ca d’Zan, is filled with palatial, theatrical rooms. Next door is the Ringling Museum of Art, a vast collection including priceless European masterpieces and American classics.
The historic district in Sarasota is pretty in pastel hues, with independent shops and galleries to peruse. The waterfront is where you want to be as the sun goes down, glass of wine in hand, and seafood supper sizzling.
