The Key West City Guides answer what first-time visitors ask: where to get a proper Cuban breakfast, which museums to see before the cruise crowds, where to watch the sunset and which bars are worth it away from Duval Street. Each guide is a short list with a clear point of view, giving the reason to go, what to order and one useful tip for every place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Blue Heaven
729 Thomas St, Bahama Village
Breakfast in a shady backyard where chickens wander between the tables: pancakes, lobster eggs Benedict and key lime pie piled with meringue. Expect a queue; the garden makes up for it. From the food guide.
San Carlos Institute
516 Duval St, Old Town
A Cuban cultural centre from 1871 where José Martí addressed the exile community. The museum is free, with a short documentary in its small theatre and a gallery upstairs, and the cool rooms are a welcome pause from Duval. From the things to do guide.
Schooner Wharf Bar
202 William Street, Historic Seaport
An open-air bar on the harbour with acoustic sets from lunchtime and boats sliding past. This is where locals watch the sun go down, a few streets away from Duval. From the nightlife guide.
Plan your days in Key West
Day one: a Cuban breakfast from the food guide, then the Mel Fisher treasure and the Shipwreck Museum before the cruise crowds, an afternoon on the beach at Fort Zachary Taylor and the sunset show on Mallory Square. Day two: catch the early Dry Tortugas ferry or drive up the Keys to Bahia Honda and the Turtle Hospital, then finish with live music at a harbour bar. For a rainy or slow day, the family and budget guides point you to the Butterfly Conservatory, the free Eco-Discovery Center and a long lunch at El Siboney.
