Florida's magic (even without the Magic Kingdom): Forget rollercoasters – the Sunshine State is bursting with attractions, from the Art Deco splendour of Miami to the sparkling waters of Key West… and even a singing cowboy or two
Do you think of Florida as just one big theme park? Think again. With secret islands and sweeping expanses of wilderness, it's a place where you can really get back to nature, and where you're more likely to see a pelican or heron than a cartoon duck. Not only that, the Sunshine State has a wealth of historic towns and cultural cities, and miles of sandy shores. And as UK tourists are allowed to return from next month, it makes the perfect place for winter sun.
