Key West Conch Train

872
Key West, the southernmost destination in the continental United States, is known for its Caribbean atmosphere and history with pirates and sea traders.

The Key West Conch Tour Train is one of the best ways to learn about what the island has to offer. It is perfect for any visitors on a North American vacation interested in learning about the island’s best sights and its mythical history.

As the 90-minute tour chugs through the Old Town part of the island, guests can learn fun facts about the rum trade, Ernest Hemingway’s home and shipwrecks off the coast, among other stories.

Duvall Street, Key West’s main drag, will entertain visitors as street performers and live music permeate throughout the day and well into the night. Restaurants and bars like Sloppy Joe’s and Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville are fun places to enjoy the atmosphere.

Former President Harry S. Truman, Tennessee Williams and thousands of shipwreck hunters came to this island to vacation. It’s not hard for travelers to see why.

The year-round warm temperatures, the fun of Duvall Street and Key West’s vibrant community is enough to make guests never want to leave.
