Travel Guide to Miami, USA

Miami is the main resort city of the US located on the Atlantic coast of Florida. This is a well-developed and a fashionable resort famous for its endless beaches, great weather with sunny days and wonderful climate conditions.
Miami is a modern place, and so here visitors can see huge luxury villas and mansions of the richest people of the world, moguls and movie star. Collins Avenue is the location of most expensive hotels in Miami (the closer to the south a hotel is, the higher is the price). All old districts of the city have been cleaned up and reconstructed, so people who come to Miami for the first time often call it the city without the slightest blemish. Ocean Drive area is, of course, the center of Miami. From its eastern part you can easily get to a white sandy beach, while the western part is represented by a long street dotted with numerous cafes and restaurants.
It’s really hard to mention all sights of this place. The main ones are the Venetian Pool (the largest and most beautiful in the world); Villa Vizcaya (a palace with gardens, waterfalls, a swimming pool, designed in the Renaissance style; currently the palace exhibits the collection of the Museum of Art); tropical parks with monkeys, parrots and butterflies; several really great zoos like Safari (Lion Country) and Miami Zoo; the Everglades National Park and Coral Castle; the Museum of Japanese Gardens – Morikami; a huge variety of botanical gardens, museums and monuments. While staying in Miami don’t forget to visit the park of Maximo Gomez as there you can find small groups of Cuban elders who play dominoes enthusiastically.
