One of the best ways to learn about Lakeland is by playing tourist in your own city. Get out and try one of these six tours in and around Swan City to learn something new.
Tour Florida Southern College, home to the world’s largest concentration of structures designed by world-renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Choose a self-guided tour or an in-depth tour led by a docent — both are available daily for reservations.
