Your Complete Guide to Flying to Key West, Florida
Key West sits at the end of the Florida Keys archipelago, 90 miles from the tip of the Florida mainland and just 90 miles from Cuba — the southernmost city in the continental United States and one of the most distinctly individualistic communities in America. The island’s character is deeply shaped by its literary heritage (Ernest Hemingway lived here for a decade; Tennessee Williams called it home), its celebrated pirate and wrecking history, its vibrant LGBTQ+ community, and a daily ritual that draws everyone to Mallory Square for the communal celebration of sunset.
Key West’s compact Old Town — walkable from nearly everywhere on the island — offers an extraordinary concentration of Victorian conch houses, tropical gardens, excellent restaurants, and the legendary Duval Street bar crawl. The surrounding waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary offer the only living coral reef in the continental United States, making Key West a premier snorkeling and diving destination.
