  • The city of Miami is a fantastic coastal town that is center for culture, commerce, arts and travel. Miami is one of the most visited cities in the United States and it is home to world renowned museums, stunning historic architecture and some of the best restaurants in the country. I spent the better part of a week in the city and visited everything from lighthouses and national parks to public art installations and art deco structures. While this is no means a complete guide to this famous city, here are some of my favorite things to do on a visit to Miami. Be sure to let me know what I left off in the comments.

    Spent the last 34 years in south Florida, loved it, but l recently moved. Most important thing to remember, keep your head on a swivel, always read the room.

    These are such excellent videos. I really appreciate the effort you put into them. They're so informative and honest about what you can see, what you should expect, how you should prepare, if they're wheelchair accessible, and if the effort and cost are worth it. And the visuals are always beautiful. I always look forward to them.

    I used to travel to Florida/Miami only for so many years before i lost my heart to beautiful california in 2016. Since then I've never been there. Thanks for bringing back good old memories.

    Fairchild is also home to a variety of festivals during the year - Chocolate, Mango, etc. during the holidays they also have an interactive light installation. And they often host Dale Chahuly glass pieces as well. If you love Fairchild, you need to visit the Kampong (which was the private home of David Fairchild). It’s located between the gardens and Vizcaya near Coconut Grove. Im so glad you visited History Miami! Such a great little museum.

    Great video of my hometown, but a few spots were missed: Lincoln Road in Miami Beach ; Brickell area next to Miami Circle - Downtown Miami ; Coconut Grove, Merrick Park, and Miracle Mile in the Coral Gables area ; The Biltmore Hotel next to Venetian Pool ; Crandon Park next to Bill Baggs State Park in Key Biscayne ; and lots of other attractions in the South Miami to Homestead area. Overall great video though, thank you very much.
