Sebring – Guide to what to do, where to eat and where to stay — The city of Sebring seen from above.

How to get to Sebring

Sebring is 1h40 by car from Orlando or 2h50 from Miami. Its central location in Florida makes it a strategic point for those visiting the state by car.

If you're traveling from Miami to Tampa or St. Petersburg, for example, is worth a stop there.

When to go to Sebring

March is the busiest month for events in Sebring, especially at the racetrack. Mid-season is the ideal time to get to know Florida, as you will escape the high temperatures – and queues – of summer. In addition, it guarantees a pleasant time, without so many people and with lower prices than in high season.

How many days to stay in Sebring

Two to three days (that's what I stayed) are enough to get to know the city, parks and do the main tours.

Things to do in Sebring

Airboat Ride tour

Florida is “THE” place to see crocodiles. Eventually, some can even be spotted cruising the streets of the area! In addition to reptiles, the region has an exuberant fauna and flora.

It is worth exploring all this from an “Airboat”, a boat without an engine, but with a propeller that allows navigation in shallow mangroves. The tour in Sebring takes place on the lake Istokpoga and lasts about an hour and a half. To learn more, visit the website Airboat WildLife Adventures.

Tour no Sebring International Raceway

The city is internationally recognized for the famous 12 hours of Sebring that happens in the Sebring International Raceway. The place is a mandatory stop for anyone visiting the city. Keep an eye out for events taking place at the racecourse or pay a visit there to learn about the history of the place.

GET A CHIP IN YOUR HOME AND USE UNLIMITED INTERNET IN THE USA

We discovered one of the best solutions for you not to spend hours of travel in telephone stores in the country, speaking an unknown language to get a SIM card. This is one of the tips we love to give our readers: America Chip.

Write it down: The company sends an international Chip to your home in Spain. When you're on the plane, just change your Brazilian SIM card for this international one. You will arrive in the United States with unlimited internet, using your cell phone at will, as you use in España.

You'll save on GPS rentals, Skype credits, and you'll still be able to use social networks, Google, or search for anything on the internet all day.
