Key West's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the murals near Hemingway Home and Museum and Mallory Square, in the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that most visitors pass without noticing. Walking is the only way to find them. Look for Fort Zachary Taylor — a creative corner that guidebooks consistently overlook.
The southernmost point of the continental US — a tropical island of Hemingway history, pastel houses, and legendary sunsets at Mallory Square.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided music & arts tour route in Key West. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Hemingway Home and Museum — the author's 1930s home, still inhabited by descendants of his six-toed cats, Mallory Square — the waterfront square where crowds gather nightly for a sunset celebration with performers, Duval Street — the main street running from the Gulf to the Atlantic, lined with bars, shops, and galleries, plus hidden gems like Fort Zachary Taylor — a Civil War-era fort with the best beach in Key West, less crowded than the public beaches and Key West Cemetery — a historic cemetery with humorous epitaphs and above-ground vaults, reflecting the island's character.

Key West is known for history and coastal walks, but creativity is woven into every corner. Street art appears visible around Hemingway Home and Museum and Mallory Square, music drifts from doorways in neighborhoods off the main tourist path. Lesser-known creative pockets like Fort Zachary Taylor reward those who walk slowly enough to notice.
Key West is flat and small — you can walk or cycle everywhere. Rent a bike for the day. Arrive at Mallory Square 30 minutes before sunset.
December through April is dry and comfortable. Summer is hot and humid with afternoon thunderstorms. Hurricane season runs June through November.
