The best photos of University of Florida aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Century Tower and Plaza of the Americas will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Bat Houses for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
A sprawling campus in Gainesville where Spanish Colonial Revival buildings share space with research labs, Gator traditions, and a 2,000-acre nature preserve.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided photography tour route in University of Florida.

Use this page as a starting point for a University of Florida walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for University of Florida. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
University of Florida attracts visitors for nature and architecture, and Century Tower and Plaza of the Americas and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best. A photography-focused walk pays attention to reflections, leading lines, and street scenes between the landmarks. Hidden photogenic spots like Bat Houses reward those who wander off the main path.
The campus is very large and flat — bring comfortable shoes or rent a bike. Start at the Plaza of the Americas, walk to Century Tower, then head south to Lake Alice for wildlife. SNAP buses connect distant areas.
Fall for Gator football and cooler weather. Spring for pleasant temperatures. Bat flights from the bat houses peak at sunset in spring and summer. Avoid July-August heat and humidity.
