Sebring Travel Guide

From high-speed car racing to relaxing in the calming breezes of nature, Sebring offers a wealth of wonderful activities for all ages. The small central Florida town provides quite the charming backdrop of rolling hills, tranquil waters and pristine parks, perfect for enjoying a relaxing getaway. In the downtown area, designated a 1920s Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places, boutiques, cafes and galleries attract passersby. On the second Saturday of every month, a classic car show takes place around “The Circle,” which isn’t surprising given the destination's long love affair with automobiles. Golf is also popular here and there are a few quality courses to play.

Things to Do in Sebring

Lake Istokpoga has lots of fine things to do from boating and angling for trophy bass on the water to unwinding at one of its two tranquil parks. On the other side of the spectrum, Sebring International Raceway attracts people from around the world for one of its many adrenaline-rushing racing events throughout the year.

A tamer alternative for those who prefer to drive is Sebring Kart Racing, where there is a track similar to the one at the major raceway. If staying indoors is more your thing, to see new creative works by local artists, stop by the Allen Altvater Cultural Center downtown and check out what’s happening at the Highland Arts League.

Finally, Highlands Hammock State Park is such as a pretty paradise for active types with several trails for biking and hiking along with a tram tour where you just may see alligators, turtles, and other wildlife if you’re lucky.

Best Time to Visit Sebring

While Sebring is beautiful year-round, the best time for travelers to go is late October to early April since summer tends to get hot.
