Florida is located in the southeastern United States and is known for its long coastline, with the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. The state features a diverse landscape ranging from the wetlands of the Everglades to the coral reefs of the Florida Keys.

With its endless sandy beaches, 330 days of sunshine per year, a wide range of sports activities, and a vibrant nightlife, Florida is a dream destination for many European visitors. However, beyond its well-known image, the “Sunshine State” offers many other attractions: a fascinating diversity of wildlife and plant life on land and in water, which visitors can experience in the Everglades or the freshwater springs of central Florida; impressive art collections such as the Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg; the historic legacy of circus pioneer John Ringling in Sarasota County; the colorful Art Deco buildings of Miami Beach; the relaxed lifestyle of the Florida Keys; the theme parks around Orlando; the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral; and some of the best golf courses in the world.

In addition, there are clear differences between the two coasts. While the Atlantic east coast is popular with surfers due to its higher waves, the Gulf west coast offers ideal conditions for relaxation with its white shell-sand beaches.

This brief overview already shows that Florida’s diversity knows no limits. From east to west and north to south, the various regions offer countless opportunities for exploration and experiences in the Sunshine State.
