TallahasseeThe capital city of Florida, Tallahassee is located 191 miles
(308km) east of Pensacola on the 'Big Bend', close to the border
with Georgia, 14 miles (23km) to the north. The city is set in
rolling hills and sports moss-draped oaks, fragrant magnolia trees
and grand old plantation houses more reminiscent of the Deep South
than the Florida sunshine scene. Tallahassee hosts the Florida
State University at the state's new Capitol Building, which towers
22 storeys above the downtown area. The city's five Canopy Roads,
where trees form virtual tunnels, are lined with interesting sites
such as plantations, ancient Native American settlements and
mounds, gorgeous gardens and scenic picnic spots. There is also a
Museum of Natural History and Science combined with a natural
habitat zoo of indigenous wildlife.
