The Sunshine State’s capital city is just an hour due north of the Florida Panhandle’s Big Bend region (Alligator Point) and is well worth a stopover of a day—or three. Highlights of any visit can include: Florida’s Capitol Complex; Florida State University’s sprawling campus; Mission San Luis; the Museum of Florida History; Tallahassee Museum; John G. Riley House & Museum; The Grove Museum; Knott House Museum; Railroad Square Art Park; John Gorrie Museum State Park; Union Bank of Florida Museum; the Governor’s Mansion; the Challenger Learning Center; and a great dining scene, including casual Bird’s Aphrodisiac Oyster Shack (ask for Apalachicola oysters!) and creative and upscale Cypress. visittallahassee.com
