Pensacola

Over the course of its history, Pensacola has been ruled by the British, the Spanish, the French, the Confederacy, and the United States; hence, its nickname of "The City of Five Flags." 

Historic Pensacola Village exhibits the city's story through guided walking tours.

There's also America’s First Settlement Trail, a marked, three-mile path through downtown Pensacola and the Pensacola Historic District. Along this trail are 20 stops and more than 70 points of interest. See sites from as early as 1756, when the Spanish built Fort San Miguel in what is now downtown Pensacola. Tour over 260 years of history and learn the fascinating story of how Pensacola developed into the city you see today.

Meanwhile, the downtown area offers art galleries, restaurants and cultural venues. Pensacola's beaches are a must-see, with their white sands and gorgeous waters.

In addition, when it comes to cities high on aviation, this Northwest Florida city is Top Gun. Not only is Pensacola the place where all naval pilots train, it also is home to the impressive National Naval Aviation Museum - access is lmited; be sure to check for admission - and the Blue Angels Naval aerobatics team.

Look up. You never know what you might see here in Pensacola.
