The southernmost city in continental USA, this is the biggest of the Florida Keys – a chain of islands stretching out into the western Caribbean.

The southernmost city in continental USA, this is the biggest of the Florida Keys – a chain of islands stretching out into the western Caribbean.

Compact and relaxed, it is a lovely city that is worth exploring. For such a small town, there is a surprising number of museums, including the home of one of Key West's most famous residents, Ernest Hemingway, where he wrote novels in the 1930s. Another is the Little White House, where President Harry S. Truman spent winters during his term in office.

The Aquarium has been open since the 1930s and provides an excellent opportunity to experience the indigenous marine life of the Florida Keys. The Butterfly and Nature Conservatory is worth seeing, as is the quirky Key West Cemetery. Here the tombs are stacked on top of one another, since the rocky ground made it impossible for early settlers to dig graves. It's something of a tradition to have irreverent and funny epitaphs: one of the most famous is "I told you I was sick!"

• KEY WEST - INFORMATION
• Key West, USA, United States

• Key West is located 150 miles south of Miami, Florida, at the end of the Florida Overseas Highway and is approximately 90 miles north of Havana, Cuba. Called ‘Cayo Hueso’ (Island of Bones) by Spanish explorers who found human bones there when they first visited, it became an important US port after the early 1820’s. Prior to the Civil War of the 1860’s as a result of the shipwreck salvaging industry, Key West was considered the richest city in the US on a per capita basis.

  With only approximately six square miles of land, most of Key West tourist attractions are within the historic area west of White Street.

  The currency of Key West is the US Dollar.
