destination. Its endless beaches provide the perfect escape for those locked in
a cold northern winter, and for children its theme parks and rides are a dream
come true. But alongside all the fun and high-tech, there?s another fascinating
world to explore: from the Everglades wetlands to the Florida Keys archipelago,
Florida is a paradise on earth. With MARCO POLO Florida, you?ll discover the
Sunshine State beyond the clichés. This practical pocket-sized guide takes you
to all the well-known sights and attractions from Walt Disney World to Cape
Canaveral. In Miami, the pulsating city with Caribbean flair, you can immerse
yourself in the colourful nightlife, while in the Panhandle you can soak up a
more Southern States atmosphere. To help you discover the many aspects of the
state, the ?Perfect Route? leads you to some of the most beautiful places. The
Insider Tips reveal where in Key West you can feel the ?Key Spirit? or where in
Miami you can swim like a movie star. Panels in each chapter suggest things to
do if you?re on a tight budget and where to pick up some real bargains. The
?Best Of? pages highlight some unique aspects of Florida, recommend places to go
for free, and contain tips for how you can escape the heat and where you can
relax and chill out. The Trips & Tours chapter takes you on a road trip
along the Overseas Highway, cycling though the Panhandle and canoeing through
the Everglades. Sports & Activities has numerous ideas from car racing to
deep-sea fishing, while the Dos & Don?ts warn of those ?purple plastic bags?
floating in the water that may well turn out to be something else altogether.
MARCO POLO Florida provides comprehensive coverage of the state. To help you get
around there?s a detailed road atlas inside, useful city maps of Downtown Miami
and Miami Beach in the backcover, plus a handy pull-out map.
