Top Rated Downtown: DeLand

The authenticity travelers are looking for is here, in DeLand.

This “real Florida” downtown has taken the top rating as best downtown outside of Orlando.  It’s a destination that combines a sense of history and a contemporary vibe. It is home to shops and boutiques, galleries and (nine!) museums as well as a slate of annual events. All this plus live theatre, fabulous restaurants, microbreweries and a series of murals – including number one selfie spot #DeLandWings – combine in this delightful downtown setting.
