From Miami to DisneyWorld Orlando to the Everglades, Florida offers an exceptional variety of unique things to do and there are amazing amount of discount hotels that will make any vacation there affordable. So which are the best places in Florida to visit when you're traveling on your own? The first choice would be Miami (I checked out most of popular placess in Florida previously and believe me Miami is the best of of them!!!)

Who wouldn't want to visit Miami? The city is an energetic mix of cultures including Colombian, Cuban and Haitian cultures just to name a few, exceptional art deco architectural beauty, the aqua blue waters of Biscayne Bay and trendy South Beach. The nightlife is awesome, the beaches are gorgeous, and there are endless lists of things to do, making it the perfect choice if you're traveling on your own. If you are into urban vacations that include all of the above plus shopping, pampering yourself at one of the many spas, along with a nice selection of cheap hotels in Miami that will make it all affordable, your going to enjoy Miami more than some of its other cities.

Miami also has its fill of amusement parks and the Miami Seaquarium fits in perfectly with the atmosphere of the coast and it is very impressive. You can witness the ultimate in aquatic experiences but be prepared to spend most of the day there. The Seaquarium is packed with an extensive variety of wild life and lots of fun hands on activities as well, not to mention the shops and dining options. Personally, i am not a fan of those kind of theme parks, but some people like it.

When you aren’t out in Miami checking out the trendier things or hanging out at one of the discount hotels, enjoying a drink or the views, hit the beaches. The beaches are a big part of why Miami is so popular and they have been rated as some of the best in the world. Whether you're just soaking up the sun, enjoying the water sports or having a drink at a local beach bar, you’ll love the atmosphere that the Miami beaches provide.

If you feel like doing something a little different, exploring beyond Miami, visit the Everglades which are only around 1.5 hours from Miami and worth the drive. The Everglades aren't just about the swamps and air boats. You can walk, bike, kayak and even canoe around the park and learn about its delicate ecosystem that has managed to endure forever here. It's a peaceful place yet if you stay still long enough you may see an alligator pop his head up in Everglade's waters.

The discount hotels make Miami an affordable vacation destination and its fantastic, year round weather, miles and miles of beautiful beaches, amusements parks and nightlife make it the perfect vacation getaway if you're traveling on your own.
