Duval Street

Trip ideas while visiting Key West in Florida

Duval Street

When you’re in Key West, don’t miss the chance to explore Duval Street. It’s a vibrant and lively street that stretches for just one mile. You’ll find an array of restaurants, bars, art galleries, and souvenir shops along the way. Duval Street is conveniently located close to several popular attractions in the city. Be sure to try a delicious slice of Key lime pie from Kermit’s Key West Key Lime Shoppe, join a ghost tour for some thrilling stories, or enjoy live music at the renowned Sloppy Joe’s bar. The best part is that you can simply sit back and watch people passing by without spending a dime.

Visitors who have recently been to the strip have drawn comparisons to Bourbon Street in New Orleans. The vibrant energy and liveliness of the city’s main street have appealed to some, but others have been put off by the large crowds and tourist-oriented shops. It’s important to note that if you’re seeking a peaceful atmosphere, Duval Street may not be the ideal choice. Especially during the evening, it transforms into a popular destination for bar-hopping enthusiasts, so families might prefer to make their dinner reservations elsewhere.
