What to do after your Key West Bus Tour:
Key West is an inimitable island city, famous for its ancient history, architectural treasures, an active street life
and several places to see and things to do. Those who cannot spend much on their vacation can plan their trip
during the off-season, somewhere between the months of June to November.
You can also look for budget accommodations and if needed compromise on location or facilities. Moreover,
you can choose free and inexpensive things do in this island city. Some of the options that will help you plan for
a budget travel to Key West are as follows:
Accommodation
Even during the peak season, Key West motels can charge up to $130 a night for each room. But then, if you
plan your stay in hotels near the eastern area of Key West, i.e. three miles from the historic Old Town then you
can grab an affordable deal. Another unique charm of this island city is its ancient bed and breakfasts in Old
Town. However, they are somewhat highly priced, i.e. $200-$300 per night.
Restaurants and Bars
Key West is a superb destination for food lovers. However, if you want to hit upon some good buys, then you
need to plan in advance. You won’t trip upon these rational places unless you have a map at your end. For
pleasant deals, you may drop by the historic Key West Seaport during its happy hours. And then, the pathway
along the dock is one of the best destinations in Key West where you’ll find people feeding tarpon from the
harbor or fishing charters showcasing their catches.
There are various harbor restaurants, which introduce happy hours such as Alonzo’s Oyster Bar. Besides, there
are also other budget choices such as Garbo’s Grill and B.O.’s Fish Wagon. For a pocket-friendly dinner, drop
by Harpoon Harry’s, the Conch Shack, El Siboney, and Lobo’s Mixed Grill.
Free Things to Do
Key West has a wealth of activities to keep you engaged. In fact, there is so much to see and do in this island
city that you’ll be literally confused while sorting out choices. Whether you want to tour the ancient Old Town
or enjoy the street carnival at Mallory Square, you’ll get a taste of everything in Key West. Some of the
free/budget things to do here are as follows:
Walking Tour: A walk through the charming lanes of Key West is a great option for budget travelers. On this
tour, you can see as many as 51 historic buildings. And don’t forget to include the Oldest House in Key West, a
famous museum, which doesn’t charge an entry fee and has a breathtaking garden right off Duval Street.
West Martello Tower & Botanical Garden: The ideal blend of an old fort and a tropical garden, the West
Martello Tower and Botanical Garden doesn’t charge any entrance fee.
White Street Pier: Walk a bit farther from West Martello Tower & Botanical Garden, and you will find this
“unfinished road to Havana.” It is a vast concrete pier that stretches 1,000 feet into the Atlantic Ocean. The pier
is a famous fishing mecca, which welcomes both locals and visitors alike.
