Local Attractions and Businesses in Key West, Florida - Comfort Inn

By Tram & Trolley-Bus -- Yes, it's more than a bit hokey to sit on this 60-foot tram of yellow cars, but it's worth it -- at least once. The city's whole story is packed into a neat, 90-minute package on the Conch Tour Train, which covers the island and all its rich, raunchy history. In operation since 1958, the cars are open-air, which can make the ride uncomfortable in bad weather. The engine of the "train" is a propane-powered Jeep disguised as a locomotive. Tours depart from both Mallory Square and the Welcome Center, near where U.S. 1 becomes North Roosevelt Boulevard, on the less-developed side of the island. For information, call tel. 305/294-5161 or visit their website. The cost is $25 for adults, $12 for children 4 to 12. Daily departures are every half-hour from 9am to 4:30pm.
