1. South Beach Beaches and Ocean Drive Quay

South Beach is probably the most popular beach in the state. Most likely, you have already seen it on the covers of magazines, postcards and on TV. It is full of gay people, nudists, rescuers bashing out their heads and tanned beauties in bikinis. In the evening, a luxurious sandy beach with an embankment full of bars and restaurants turns into the heart of Miami’s nightlife.

2. Miami Zoo

One of the best places for children in the city is the Miami Zoo. In the park, spread over 74 hectares of land, there are more than 2000 animals of 500 different species from different parts of the world. One of the favorite activities of visitors is to feed the giraffes.

3. Villa Vizcaya

The villa was built in 1914-1916 and reminds one of the houses of the Italian Renaissance nobility. The building has about 70 rooms and many art objects. Initially it served as the winter residence of the industrialist James Dering, now the museum and the botanical garden are located on the territory.

4. Wynwood Art District

Winwood is not the most prosperous quarter of Miami, chosen by local artists and turned into a kind of open-air gallery. The walls of the building are painted with a variety of graffiti: from completely recognizable to very surreal. There are many galleries and inexpensive cafes.

5. Suspended monorail Metromuver

This road is not only a means of transportation, but also a popular attraction from where you can enjoy the city’s landscapes. Two small trailers carry passengers at a height of several tens of meters above the road, bypassing all sorts of traffic jams and overcoming a distance of 40 km through an impressive viaduct.

6. Bayside Market

Bayside is one of the best places for shopping in Miami. It is always noisy and full of life. Almost at every corner there are small shops, souvenir shops, small cafes and restaurants. It becomes especially good after dark when hundreds of lights and lights are lit, which are reflected in the water.

7. Bayfront Park

Bayfront Park is located in the heart of downtown Miami. This is such a small green oasis with fountains, sculptures and miniature boat harbors among the city skyscrapers. On the quay at the park you can take a boat and go for a walk around Biscayne Bay.

8. Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral

After watching the sights of Miami, we recommend to go to the space center at Cape Canaveral. It is 3.5 hours drive from the city. There are several museums, as well as various excursions. Launch pad, reconstructed Saturn V starter, Apollo capsule and much more are waiting for you.
