Local knowledge for Key West

Where to stay

Budget travelers stay in Old Town, specifically around the blocks between Duval Street and White Street, where most hostels sit within walking distance of everything. Bahama Village, the historically Bahamian neighborhood just west of Duval near Petronia Street, is quieter and slightly cheaper while still being central.

Getting around

  • Rent a bike on day one. Eaton Street Bicycle Center and similar shops on Truman Avenue charge a modest fee per day, and the island is two miles wide. You will not need a car or rideshare.
  • The sunset crowd at Mallory Square is free to join, but get there 45 minutes early to get a spot on the seawall. The performers work for tips, so budget a few dollars or skip the front row.
  • Fausto's Food Palace on Fleming Street has real grocery prices. Anything sold on Duval Street costs tourist markup, including water and snacks.

When to go

Hostels are cheapest in June through August despite the heat, while December through April fills up with snowbirds and prices climb, and Fantasy Fest in late October causes a separate spike that can rival winter rates.
