Bradenton takes pride in giving visitors a taste of old Florida. From the historic attractions along Manatee Avenue such as 1860 Courthouse, Bradenton Bank and Trust Company Building, and Iron Block Building, to DeSoto National Memorial, the city has a lot to offer to history buffs. Much like other destinations in Florida, however, it also features a number of beaches, some of which offer fantastic views of the Gulf. Families traveling with kids should not miss out on visiting South Florida Museum and The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature, while lovers of all things artsy should make sure to drop by Village of the Arts. Cortez, the oldest commercial fishing village on the west coast of Florida, is also worth a visit, especially for seafood lovers. In addition to beachfront hotels and Vrbo vacation rentals, here are also the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Bradenton, Florida.
