Our walk continues to the Hemingway Museum, which we can visit or just admire from the outside, depending on our mood. Alternatively or additionally, we can dive into <strong>America&#8217;s history<\/strong> while visiting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/attractions-keys\/the-little-white-house\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5672\">Little White House<\/a>.

lunchtime, we treat ourselves to a small snack in one of the endless bars and enjoy a whiskey at <strong>Sloppy Joe&#8217;s Bar<\/strong>. Then we delight in the Old Town&#8217;s fantastic colonial architecture, which reaches its peak with the <strong>Oldest House<\/strong>. We continue to <strong>Duval Street<\/strong>, where we encounter art, funky fashion, T-shirts galore, and countless bars and pubs. The gay scene is at home here, and pure tourism awaits us. No matter \u2013 life is beautiful.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a short break, we look for a cozy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/restaurants\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"6182\">restaurant <\/a>to enjoy fresh fish. Afterwards, we celebrate \u2013 how could it be otherwise \u2013 the sunset at <strong>Mallory Square<\/strong>. Fire-eaters, artists, guitar players, and many other street performers entertain on land. Jet skiers, kayakers, and other water sports enthusiasts adorn the water, while the sun sets above all. It&#8217;s truly celebrated here. If you look at the natural spectacle itself, it&#8217;s no better or worse than elsewhere on the islands \u2013 simply grandiose.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-442868c7\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Activities  Highlights around Key West<\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attractions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top uagb-post__image-enabled uagb-block-57ade2a5     uagb-post__items uagb-post__columns-2 is-grid uagb-post__columns-tablet-2 uagb-post__columns-mobile-1 uagb-post__equal-height\" data-total=\"1\" style=\"\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"uagb-post__inner-wrap\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__image'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/attractions-keys\/the-little-white-house\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\" class=\"uagb-image-ratio-2-3\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-little-white-house-Key-West.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Harry S Truman Little White House\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-little-white-house-Key-West.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-little-white-house-Key-West-340x191.jpg 340w, https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/The-little-white-house-Key-West-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"uagb-post__title uagb-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/attractions-keys\/the-little-white-house\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Harry S Truman Little White House: a Winter Residence<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__text uagb-post-grid-byline'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__text uagb-post__excerpt'>\n\t\t\t\t\tImportant decisions of American post-war history were once made at President Harry S.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key West is a melting pot of tropical island feeling, colonial architecture, and a liberal, cosmopolitan community. The famous <strong>Conch Houses<\/strong> in pastel colors, with their verandas and lush gardens, shape the cityscape just as much as palm trees, chickens on the street, and the scent of salt air and mojitos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Duval Street<\/strong> forms the vibrant center of the island: cafes, bars, boutiques, and art galleries line up one after another. In the evenings, life pulsates here \u2013 from relaxed live music to the legendary Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key West was home to famous writers like <strong>Ernest Hemingway<\/strong> and continues to attract creatives and dropouts. The Hemingway Home, the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum, or the Shipwreck Museum show that the island is more than just parties and palm trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those seeking nature will find it in the <strong>Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park<\/strong> \u2013 with one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, old fortifications, and turquoise water. A boat trip to the nearby Dry Tortugas National Park is also worthwhile \u2013 crystal clear water, coral reefs, and the historic Fort Jefferson included. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Place to Stay?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key West is <strong>not a place for mass tourism<\/strong>. The island deliberately focuses on quality over quantity. Many visitors opt for charming guesthouses or private accommodations. Those who live here or stay longer experience a way of life far from the everyday \u2013 cycling to work, going barefoot to the market, and watching the sunset as a daily ritual.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short: This city is not a place you just visit \u2013 it&#8217;s <strong>a place you feel<\/strong>. Once you&#8217;ve felt the \u201cConch Spirit\u201d, you often don&#8217;t want to leave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History of Key West<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key West came to the USA in <strong>1819<\/strong> along with the Florida Territory. In 1845, the US Army built Fort Zachary Taylor, creating an important base for the Union Navy during the Civil War. The fort continued to serve as coastal fortification until 1947. The city at the end of the Keys was connected to the railroad network in 1912, as the final island. The city&#8217;s inhabitants earned extremely well. Key West had the highest per capita income in Florida, generated through the exploitation of shipwrecks, sponge trade, and cigar production.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the railroad connection over many bridges was completed by <strong>Henry M. Flagler<\/strong>, Key West developed into an important port for Cuba, 145 km away. However, a hurricane destroyed the railroad line in 1935, which was not rebuilt. This was the birth of the <strong>Overseas Highway<\/strong> spanning 42 bridges. Parts of it ran over the remaining old railroad bridges, which were largely replaced by new constructions in the 1980s. Today, you can see many anglers on the old unused bridge ruins.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since Key West became accessible by land, the southernmost point of the island is considered the southernmost point of the mainland USA, marked with the mile marker <strong>90 miles to Cuba<\/strong> and is now a tourist attraction. In 1927, the airline Pan American World Airways was founded in Key West. The small store office can still be visited today. One of Key West&#8217;s most famous citizens is Ernest Hemingway, who lived here for several years starting in 1928. His former residence is now a museum.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stock market crash of 1929 and the relocation of the <strong>cigar production<\/strong> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/golfkueste\/tampa\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"2443\">Tampa<\/a> plunged Key West into a deep crisis in 1930. This was further exacerbated by the hurricane of 1935 and the subsequent destruction of the railroad bridges. Then came the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, and thanks to the US Navy, money flowed back into Key West. Dilapidated buildings could be restored, and the island spruced itself up for tourism, which remains the main source of income to this day.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On April 23, 1982, due to increased road traffic controls by US authorities, the Florida Keys symbolically declared their <strong>independence<\/strong> from the USA for a short time and proclaimed the Conch Republic. They did this by declaring war armed with dry breadsticks. The official secession failed, but the checkpoints disappeared. Even today, you can see the flags flying everywhere.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Videos about Key West<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-fb2c7e0e alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-648dfa83\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-youtube-block\"><div id=\"yb-video-mAKM-XSBk_E\" class=\"yb-player\" data-video-id=\"mAKM-XSBk_E\" data-title=\"Play\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/mAKM-XSBk_E\/hqdefault.jpg)\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"yb-btn-play\"><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"yb-caption\">Top 10 Things to do in KEY WEST<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-2e49dc26\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-youtube-block\"><div id=\"yb-video-boLUWvu7_nk\" class=\"yb-player\" data-video-id=\"boLUWvu7_nk\" data-title=\"Play\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/boLUWvu7_nk\/hqdefault.jpg)\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"yb-btn-play\"><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"yb-caption\">What to Do in Key West, Florida<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-c265e383\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-youtube-block\"><div id=\"yb-video-nReULp1hhOM\" class=\"yb-player\" data-video-id=\"nReULp1hhOM\" data-title=\"Play\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/nReULp1hhOM\/hqdefault.jpg)\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"yb-btn-play\"><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"yb-caption\">Key West Florida &#8211; Fun Video Travel Guide<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-81de5f7f alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-8716293a uagb-faq-icon-row-reverse uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-false uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap uagb-faq-equal-height     \" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\"><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.florida-scout.com\\\/en\\\/key-west\\\/\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What's special about Key West USA?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Key West is the endpoint of the Florida Keys island chain \\u2013 known for its Caribbean flair, the motto <em>\\u201c\\u201d<\\\/em><strong>Come as you are<\\\/strong><em>, and an open, warm interaction with visitors.
