Looking for cheap flights to Florida from Canada? Look no further!
The US state of Florida is one of huge contrasts. From the vibrant, packed theme parks and attractions of Walt Disney World, to the vast swampy Everglades and stunning sandy beaches, there really is something for everyone. Plus, the warm year-round subtropical climate and relatively short plane ride makes Florida very popular with couples, honeymooners and families alike.
With Florida being so large and diverse, it’s worth planning what you’d like to see well in advance – although this itself isn’t so easy with so much to choose from! For both the young and young at heart, Florida's sprawling theme parks are a must. Come down and say hello to your favourite Walt Disney cartoon characters at Disney World, get lost in the world of cinema at Universal Studios or dive into the splash zone at SeaWorld. Stand in amazement at the Cape Canaveral Kennedy Space Centre where you may even be able to see the launch of a real-life rocket! Or for an even more adrenaline-packed afternoon, check out the stock car races at the Daytona International Speedway or the famous fan propelled boats that swoop across the swaps of the Everglades National Park.
Lemons, limes and oranges and other delicious citrus fruit is a big part of Floridian life, so why not boost your vitamin C intake with a large glass of yummy juice in one of the many cafés. Restaurants in Florida offer a massive variety of food from smoky ribs and burgers to stunning seafood caught in the Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean. Thanks to southern Florida’s relatively close distance to Cuba, a lot of the cuisine you come across is likely to be inspired by Cuban and Caribbean flavours. And before you head off back home, don’t forget to take a trip across the Florida Keys from Key Large to Key West. With breath-taking beaches and exciting snorkelling followed up with a mouth-watering slice of key lime pie, your trip to Florida will bring back fantastic memories for years to come.
