Eclectic and eccentric, wild and warm, blessed with roguish characters and spectacular scenery, the keys are Florida's Wonderland, where the White Rabbit, Alice and the Queen of Hearts frolic--and no one pays the slightest attention. With so much history, beauty, and revelry, it's no wonder that Key West is at the top of many traveler's lists. So when you are not on the beach, or swimming at the reef, or enjoying the many, many bars, here are Key West's fun, interesting, and entertaining storytellers.

Most of the sights are located in Old Town, where you'll find charming bed-and-breakfasts and Victorian houses with gingerbread trim mingling with packed bars and countless souvenir shops. The main drag, Duval Street, is crammed with restaurants, bars, galleries and shops. Duval is a good landmark to use for figuring out where you are and where you're going. The southeastern end of Duval is near the Southernmost Point in the continental United States (a requisite photo op for all visitors). From there, you can stroll north on Whitehead Street, passing several popular attractions. These include the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum and the Key West Lighthouse. Farther north are the historic Audubon House and Tropical Gardens, Harry Truman's Little White House Museum, and the Mel Fisher Museum (filled with gold artifacts recovered by the underwater treasure hunter).
