Boasting a tropical-like weather range and bounded by Mexican Gulf to the west, Florida takes eighth place in USA when it comes to density of population.

Without a doubt, there’re quite many side places to visit in Florida. We’ve picked out a popular few for your choice selection.
In no specific order, we bring you a list of 10 historical sites to visit in Florida:

1. Bok Tower Gardens

Founded in the early 20th century by an immigrant from the Netherlands, this landscape beauty remains one of the best places to visit in Florida, USA. Famous for its singing Tower, its unique flower blooms and breathtaking view of sunsets. A latter is due to its location beside the Iron Mountain, one of the highest points in the state.

4. Freedom Tower

When visiting Florida, one must not forget to pay homage to the Freedom Tower. Originally opened in 1925, this building was first used by a media house, then played an important role in housing Cuban refugees during the Cold war. Till date, it stands tall as a symbol of hope and strength. It also represents a turning point in history for many Cubans who found assistance within its walls.
