Travel Guides

Where and how to order city travel guides.

By Lauren Tjaden

By all accounts, the Internet is a marvelous thing.

With it, you can look up events in Naples, Pensacola Beach, or countless other destinations, for the dates that you’ll be in town. You can book a hotel in those same cities, with the benefit of reviews from people who’ve stayed there. Google Maps will let you virtually stand on the shores of Florida beaches, and you can rotate the view, almost as if your bare toes were planted in the sand.

There’s something about a print guide that the Internet’s vast flow of information can’t match.

Some folks are simply old-school, more comfortable with flicking through pages than clicking a mouse. But it runs deeper than that. Brochures invite you to curl up on the couch with them, tempting you with white-sand beaches, frolicking dolphins, and exotic pools. They beg to be passed around the coffee table, shared with friends and family, and to be savored at leisure. And you can unfold a map as you drive, exploring and choosing the routes that strike your fancy, instead of following a line on your phone.

Read on to discover where you can order print brochures, wherever you’re dreaming of going in the Sunshine State.

North Florida  |  Central Florida  |  South Florida

You can order a free print map and other guides covering the whole state from VISIT FLORIDA here . 

North Florida is home to hidden gems like St. George Island.

Florida Tourist Magazines and Leaflets

If you are renting a car in Florida then the rental company will invariably give you a basic local map. Once in Florida it is easy to pick up a range of complimentary tourist informational brochures, magazines, leaflets and coupon books.

If you are in central Florida then you can find plenty of Orlando Florida travel brochures and leaflets with theme park and other attractions leaflets for places like Walt Disney World , Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, LEGOLAND Florida and the Kennedy Space Center.

These can be found in:

  • tourist information offices
  • attractions
  • restaurants
  • shopping malls
  • hotels and motels
  • shops like Walmart

Florida Discount Coupon Books

In the Orlando area look out for magazines like “Enjoy Florida” and “I Love Orlando”. As well as articles about local attractions they are packed with advertisements and money off coupons. You can also view online or download a digital copy of the latest Enjoy Florida or I Love Orlando magazine.

If buying theme park tickets then make sure you use an authorised ticket outlet and watch out for deeply discounted tickets, they may be tied to timeshare presentations.

If you are visiting the theme parks then it is well worth buying a park guide book, see our own Florida guide book reviews . Don’t forget you can also get a lot of useful park information by downloading the official park guide apps for your smartphone.
