Description
Gainesville, located in north central Florida, is home to the University of Florida. By far, the strongest current running through the city is the overt pride in the Florida Gators. Football season is bustling with students, alumni, and families cheering for their team. Aside from sports, Gainesville offers an eclectic downtown area with cultural performances at the Hippodrome State Theater, diverse dining, and hip nightclubs. Locals and visitors can also escape into nature at Paynes Prairie State Preserve or Devil's Millhopper State Geological Site, where you will see a 20-million-year-old sinkhole.
