Upon entry into “Tally,” its popular nickname, you’ll feel as though you’re no longer in Florida but rather somewhere up north. This is perhaps one of its many unique appeals to this city. Traditional Florida is often characterized by sandy shores, palm tree-lined streets, and warm winters. In Tallahassee, you can enjoy an utterly alternative scenery while also reaping the benefits of living within close proximity of those classic Floridian attributes. Of course, you’d be within one hour of the beach, but there are lots of bodies of water such as lakes and springs much closer.
In addition to its unbeatable natural beauty and southern charm, Tallahassee is the perfect place to enjoy the many natural parks, trails, and reserves scattered across the county, such as Tom Brown Park, Lafayette Heritage Trail Park, Alfred B. Maclay Gardens, and St. Marks Historic Railroad State Trail, to name a few.
In addition, the downtown scene offers a plethora of excellent places to eat, seasonal farmer’s markets, and other events surrounding holidays throughout the year.
