Duval Street is the most famous street in the city. It was once a dirt road, before it was paved in the 1930s and took on its current appearance. The road is dotted with bars, pubs and saloons of an incredible variety. Ernest Hemingway’s favorite, which you can still see today, was Sloppy Joe’s, which owes its name to Joe Russell, a friend of the writer and occasional smuggler. At one end of the street, you’ll find the Oldest House Museum, which is home to a small collection of antiques from the 18th to the 20th century.
