Charter a private jet from Alaska to Alabama

What to see and do in Alabama

Alabama has a colourful history. It first caught the eye of Spanish explorers; then it was settled by the French who promptly lost it to the British. It ended up being divided between the US and Spain (again) until the latter surrendered it just over 200 years ago. Its modern history is wrapped up with the American Civil Rights movement, with defiant activist Rosa Parks one of its most revered figures. Alabama has produced a fair number of top athletes too, including Olympic legend Jesse Owens, boxing champ Evander Holyfield and baseball hero Hank Aaron. And then there’s the other Hank – country singer Hank Williams, who is honored with a festival of his own every June in his hometown of Georgiana.

Here are some ideas for your Alabama bucket list. Go bargain-hunting in the Unclaimed Baggage Center in Scottsboro, the US’s only lost luggage store; and spend a night or two in the Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel & Spa. Opened in 1852 on the site of an old military headquarters established by Andrew Jackson, it was the place to be and be seen for more than a century. It reopened in 2007 and now offers an unforgettable luxury experience befitting its storied past – plus a possible resident ghost. Finally, catch the sunset at Dauphin Island, a barrier island three miles south of Mobile Bay that’s proud to call itself the Sunset Capital of Alabama.
