Tallahassee
Tallahassee, the capital of Florida, is a genteel town with good manners, rolling hills, oak-canopied roads, plantation homes, and genuine Southern hospitality.
Tallahassee is home to Florida State University, Florida A&M University and, of course, Florida's Legislature.
The New Capitol building rises at the center of Tallahassee's downtown, next to the more classic Old Capitol. A gallery atop the 22-story New Capitol provides a sweeping view of the hilly city and its tree-lined streets.
The Capital City boasts a number of historic districts, including a 10-block stretch along that preserves Tallahassee's gracious old homes along a linear park, along with a historic inn, bars and restaurants patronized by legislators, students and everyone in between.
Museums, parks, art galleries, a natural-habitat zoo – Tallahassee offers it all.
