CNN Travel – This Is The Place to Be

One of 19 places in the world CNN Travel is recommending for 2019, the Space Coast is ready for visitors.

CNN TRAVEL says the Space Coast of Florida is the place to be in 2019 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of mankind’s first walk on the moon—the place where Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins “rocketed off the Earth and into the history books.”

Visitors can see the Atlantis Space Shuttle up close, learn about the heroes who flew into space and what’s next, enjoy the sounds and excitement of takeoff like an astronaut on the Shuttle Ride Experience, and meet exploration history head-on at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. If travelers to the Space Coast are lucky, they may see an actual rocket launch.

The Space Coast is also noted for its surfing, kayaking, and pristine natural beauty—where the wonders of tropical Florida are abundant– from manatees and dolphins to sea turtle nesting to more than 300 bird species in and around Titusville, Florida.

Here’s what CNN has to say about the 19 best places to visit in 2019 (in the world):
