You can book budget-friendly tours like Key West’s Old Town Treasures: A Self-Guided Audio Tour for around US$15 per person. This audio tour takes you around the streets of Key West’s Old Town, passing by highlights such as Duval Street, the Little White House, and Ernest Hemingway’s former home. Pricier tours include options such as the Private 2-Hour Wind and Wine Sunset Sail in Key West (from US$4,000 per group). This completely private trip will see you and your party board a 65-foot (20-meter) schooner to sip on wines and feast on hors d’oeuvres as you sail around Key West.

It all depends on the excursion you choose. A cycling tour is a great way to learn about the island’s history and see highlights such as Mallory Square, Mile Marker Zero, and White Street Pier. Key West is also a great place to go on a wildlife tour by kayak or catamaran and spot sharks, rays, turtles, and sea birds. A sunset cruise is a fabulous way to relax after a day’s sightseeing.

Consider an all-day tour to visit as many attractions and landmarks as possible. For example, on the Full-Day Tour of Florida Keys, Including Aquarium Encounters from Key West, you’ll see much of what makes the area so special, with stops at Florida Keys Aquarium Encounters, Bahia Honda State Park, National Key Deer Refuge, and Seven Mile Bridge.

The beauty of Key West is that you can walk just about everywhere. The city is approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) long and 2 miles (3.2 km) wide. Visitors can also rent a bicycle or a moped to get around, and there are taxis and numerous shuttles from local hotels if you’re in a hurry.

We suggest spending one to two days in Key West. The Old Town’s historic area is pretty small, and highlights, such as its unique architecture, can be seen in a day. But Key West also has many museums, activities, excellent eateries, and a vibrant nightlife, justifying an extra day to make the most of your trip.

The best month to visit Key West depends on your interests and itinerary. For perfect sunny weather, visit between March and May, when the winter crowds taper off. Rainy season––from June to August––usually means cheaper room rates. Atlantic hurricane season runs from June to November, but there are reasons to visit at this time, including Key West Brewfest and Fantasy Fest events.
