Pensacola

On our trip to Florida, we made our way to Pensacola expecting sun and sand—but we quickly discovered there’s so much more to explore. The Historic Pensacola Village, nestled in the city’s Historic District, became an unexpected highlight. With its beautifully preserved buildings, immersive museums, and interactive exhibits, it’s a must-visit for history lovers and families alike. Walk the America’s First Settlement Trail, dive into hands-on activities at the Pensacola Children’s Museum, and experience a side of Pensacola beyond the beach. Add it to your Pensacola itinerary—you won’t regret it!
