Tallahassee Travel Tips

See Florida's only reconstructed Spanish mission. It features archaeological excavations, replicas of buildings from the original Mission San Luis, and the largest historic Indian building in the Southeast.
Stroll through the Park Avenue Historic District, a linear network of seven local parks passing an array of homes listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Ride a glass-bottom boat or take a swim at Wakulla Springs State Park, featuring one of the world's largest and deepest freshwater springs.
Catch a glimpse of Florida before the developers moved in at the 500,000-acre Apalachicola National Forest just south of Tallahassee.
Cross the border into Thomasville, Georgia, a once-fashionable winter resort that's home to dozens of elegant Victorian-era homes and cottages.

Tallahassee Travel Guide

As a University of Miami alumna, I was practically taught to hate Tallahassee, just because it's the home of the Miami Hurricanes' biggest rivals—Florida State University's Seminoles (or 'Noles, as locals refer to them).
