Geography

Florida ref 2001.jpg

The state is situated in the South-East of the United States, located on a peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean; and to the north it is bordered by Alabama and Georgia.

Climate

Te climate of Florida is tempered by the fact that no part of the state is very distant from the ocean. In the North the prevalent climate is humid subtropical and in the South it's a true tropical climate, which means in the summer high temperatures seldom exceed 38 °C and record cold is −4 °C.

To Do List if you're happened to visit Florida

Disney World

It is the world's most-visited entertainment resort. Located in Lake Buena, it includes four theme parks, two water parks, 23 on-site themed resort hotels, two health spas and physical fitness centers, five golf courses, and other recreational venues.The resort was inspired by the dreams of Walt Disney, who wanted a theme park on the East Coast to supplement Disneyland in California (Disney World's Magic Kingdom was designed similarly to Disneyland). However, Walt envisioned Disney World to be much different from Disneyland's one day visit. This included entertainment, uniquely-themed resort hotels, and a much wider variety of sports and recreational opportunities. In fact, Walt's original plans for the Florida property were far more ambitious: he also wanted to construct a real planned city of approximately 20,000 residents(!).

Key West

Florida has its own little "Caribbean" island. And there’s really much to do and see here: you can visit the Ernest Hemingway Home, call at an Art Gallery, go fishing the same inspirational waters that the greater writer fished or just hire a schooner and sail where you wish. And surely visit Duval Street - there is so much to do that you could spend two days here alone. Whether it's shopping, dining, or dancing the night away this where you'll find what you're looking for. At night, Duval is a carnival that lasts until dawn, similar to Bourbon Street. It is home to such famous name bars as Sloppy Joe's, Hog's Breath Saloon and the legendary Captain Tony's Saloon, a local favorite, is the oldest bar in Key West.

Miami

Miami is a major center and a leader in finance, culture, media and entertainment; it is known for its spectacular nightlife, fine dining, Art Deco area, trend-setting design influence, annual hosting of MTV award shows and - of course - its beautiful beach.
