6 days in Sarasota Itinerary

Sarasota is a city in Sarasota County on the southwestern coast of the U.S. Appreciate the collections at The Ringling and Edison and Ford Winter Estates. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Marie Selby Botanical Gardens and Sarasota National Cemetery. Venture out of the city with trips to Clearwater (Clearwater Beach & Clearwater Marine Aquarium), St. Petersburg (The Dali Museum & Historic Kenwood) and De Soto National Memorial (in Bradenton). There's much more to do: brush up on your knowledge of spirits at Siesta Key Rum, kick back and relax at Saint Pete Beach, admire nature's wide array of creatures at Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium, and stroll through Siesta Beach.
