16 Jan 12 photos that will make you want to visit Key West

Key West in Florida has my heart. It’s definitely my favorite place on earth and it stole my heart from the very first moment I laid eyes on it. Palm-lined streets and Victorian houses with beautiful pastel colors make it a subtropical paradise. It’s the Southernmost point in the United States and is close to Cuba: hello Cuban influences.

The Central street is Duval Street with its many restaurants, bars and cafes. When it comes to food, there are so many different choices. But you really can’t miss the most delicious Key Lime Pie! You’ll also find Sloppy Joe’s bar in Duval Street, one of the most famous bars here and it was also a favorite Key West hangout of novelist Ernest Hemingway.

Every evening, hundreds of people come to Mallory Square for the Sunset Celebration. This ‘festival’ starts two hours before sunset with many street artists. And at night, Key West comes even more alive!
