Florida – a magical mix of cultures from Disney to Latin America

Florida is a magical mixture of cultures and despite being the southernmost state, a holiday to Florida does not include just southern US culture. Cities such as Tampa and Orlando offer a mixture of cultures, whereas Miami is unique in seeming like a cross between an American metropolis and a major Latin American city. On holiday in Florida one should try to make it to the Florida State Fair - a wild event which gives a real flavour of the many varying cultures in the state of Florida. There are also animal displays and shows, an exhibition dedicated to citrus and a large selection of rides and games.

Your holiday to Florida wouldn’t be complete without visiting Walt Disney World Resorts. Disney World is located in Lake Buna Vista, Florida near Orlando. Disney World Florida is the flagship of Disney's worldwide theme park empire. It is, by far the most popular theme park resort in the world. Visitors describe it as a place of magic, wonder and fantasy; others speak of fun, excitement, and relaxation. Wherever your opinion lies you must find time to visit it.

Floridian Cuisine has a mixture of different cuisines making dining an interesting and refreshing experience when on holiday there. Influences include Early Spanish and African cuisine as well as Cuban and Caribbean cultures. Northern Florida has a Southern US style, whereas the South has more of a Caribbean one. Florida is on a peninsula which means Floridian chefs have access to good fresh seafood. Be sure to try some during your holiday to Florida. Unique to Florida are local dishes of Alligator, which tastes like chicken and is a surprisingly healthy meat. Sample also the Key Lime Pie, which was invented in Florida, yummy.

Nightlife on a holiday to Florida is vast and lively with liquor stores and bars selling drinks throughout the state.
