Need a good reason to perk up? Find it at Serda's Coffee Company. The relaxed yet classy ambiance of the shop makes it perfect to go grab a cup of your favorite blend (there are several on the menu) and just grab a table to enjoy the surroundings or perhaps set up your computer or tablet to do a bit of work. The staff is always friendly and cordial and there is a regular schedule of live acoustic music, so make sure to check the website for more details.

The long and winding history of Mobile is everywhere. The city offers many chances to see and learn about what all came before, but the USS Alabama Historical Trail offers a chance to see it for yourself on your own long and winding journey. Stroll by antebellum homes, historical museums, and even old cemeteries. Plus, as you move along this recreation trail, you will be able to enjoy some of Mobile's natural amenities like live oak trees and blooming azaleas.

Art aficionados will most definitely not want to miss the opportunity to take in the incredible works and exhibits that are on display at the Mobile Museum of Art. The art that is presented here spans several historical periods, the most notable of which are the ones culled from the 18th century. Also, the rotating exhibits are always highly compelling as they not only offer various artists the chance to have their work seen in a highly-regarded spotlight, but they also help broaden the museum's already far-reaching artistic scope.
