Soak in one of the city's celebrated Mallory Square sunsets in this remarkable combination of Victorian style and tropical casualness. The locals call it the Conch Republic, but everyone else on the planet knows it as Key West. Shop and stroll through gingerbread Victorian cottages surrounded by swaying palm trees. Check out the beautiful lighthouse, the street performers and the vibrant nightlife along Duval Street. This southernmost point in the continental United States is part Bahamian village, part historical landmark.
