Each region of Florida boasts its own attractions and it’s no exaggeration to say each merits a holiday in its own right.

Perhaps dance the night away in Miami or explore the natural wonders of northern Florida.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT FLORIDA?

The best time to visit Florida varies by region. Florida enjoys a humid, sub-tropical climate, so the best time to visit is generally in the spring and autumn when the weather is dry and not too hot.

Florida can get rather humid in the summer months, and there can be a little more rainfall but it still remains one of the most popular times to travel.

For more information, take a look at our guide to the best time to visit Florida.

Florida Top Tips From Our Travel Experts

Tom Farnworth - expert
Tom Farnworth

The Gulf Coast is my absolute favourite part of Florida. Kayak with dolphins in Sarasota or go shelling on Sanibel Island. Catch a festival at Pier 60 in Clearwater on the first Friday every month on the no.1 beach in America as voted by the public. Finish off with an exhilarating trip to Busch Gardens in Tampa, home to some of the most extreme roller coasters in the world.
