North Central Cities | North Florida Attractions

A nature-lover's haven and known for the beauty of its sweeping natural surroundings, the North Central Region hosts many campgrounds, lakes, forests and parks, as well as extensive golfing and sports centers, which provides recreation, relaxation, fun and entertainment to thousands of visitors. In addition, the North Central Region is home to two major universities, the University of Florida in Gainesville and Florida State University in Tallahassee, giving the region the excitement and entertainment venues available in these two large college towns.

The region is home to numerous art galleries, museums, theaters, venues, clubs, concert halls, and stadiums. Tallahassee, Florida's capital city, sits in one of the few hilly regions of the state. With two capitol buildings (the historic old capitol, now a museum, and the newer high-rise building where the legislature now meets), Tallahassee offers a wealth of historical sites, fascinating politics, and educational opportunities, plus the vivacity and energy of a college town.

With such a picturesque landscape coupled with a bustling urban personality, this region is one of the crown jewels of Florida.
