Mobile, Alabama, is a truly unique city in historic Mobile County in southwest Alabama.

These global influences can be found in the architecture around both the city and county – in historical landmarks and museums, local food and music, and age-old cultures and traditions.

There is literally something for everybody to enjoy during their free time in Mobile as visitors can play on the water, around the water or in the water.
 

History buffs will also have a field day exploring the Port City's sports past, such as the fact that Mobile is the birthplace of five Major League Baseball Hall-of-Famers.
