bouhunter Posted February 7, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Key West is a LONG way from the rest of Florida. 3 hour drive to Miami. The theme parks (Orlando) are probably a 6-7 hour drive. If you're on a cruise you'll be very close to the center of town (Duval Street). For a short visit on a cruise, the Conch Train or Trolley are a nice way to see the town and learn about it. Then you could shop/dine/drink on Duval street. If you're there later, the Sunset Festival at Mallory Square is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shirleygr Posted February 7, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 7, 2006 If you do a search, you will find a number of websites with a wealth of information about Key West. Also, there are a number of good guide books out there. Key West has a very interesting history and is a wonderful place to visit. I agree, the trolley is a nice way to get an overview, with a lot of information about the island in the narration. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
