Miami is one of the most Latin American cities along the entire coast of the United States of America. No more than 30% of the population speaks English as their native language. It is built on flat terrain, and its highest point is 7 meters high. The city can be compared to Manhattan in terms of area and population. It has many recording studios and is the financial center of the state of Florida.
Miami was founded in 1896 by Americans who evicted the Indians from it. The first settlement consisted of 500 people, who gradually began to build a city. When this area received the status of a "city", people from all over America began to flock here and in two decades this area became the largest on the entire southeastern coast of the United States.
Getting to Miami from Russia is not a problem today. The international airport is the largest in Florida, and many airlines intersect there. Direct flights from Moscow are carried out 4 times a week by two airlines - Aeroflot and TransAero.
The interesting climate in Miami offers a comfortable holiday in winter. The air temperature is 25 - 30 degrees Celsius. The warm Gulf Stream does not allow the sea to cool down. Closer to summer, the rainy season begins. 35-degree heat together with humid air creates great discomfort for the local population and tourists. Tornadoes periodically hit the city.
If you need to get to any point in the city, then everything is great with transport here. There is a metro, taxi, car rental and bicycle rental.
Miami is divided into four parts - north, west, south and east. The local population calls different areas of the city this way. Near Biscayne Bay, there is South Beach. There are always a lot of tourists here. In the center of the city is the financial district Downtown.
Everyone has heard of such a district as Miami Beach. Especially from American films and TV series. It is a long ten-kilometer coastline, on which mansions, hotels, restaurants and casinos are built. World celebrities build their houses here. For yourself, you can find a lot of entertainment: from surfing and swimming in the sea to cafes with live rock and roll music.
Explore activities such as diving and sailing. Night clubs are popular, but there are also quiet areas for families with budget prices.
Downtown is the financial and cultural center of the entire state of Florida. It is home to many museums, parks, theaters, and headquarters of world brands. Since 2001, many skyscrapers have been built in the area. They have observation decks from which you can enjoy unforgettable views. And two huge parks – Bayfront and Bicentennial Park – receive a huge number of people every day who come here to relax and have a picnic.
In Wynwood, another Miami neighborhood, you won't find a single clean building. The fact is that all the walls and fences are painted by local artists. This is the most colorful region in all of America, where unusual pictures are created with the help of graffiti.
You should definitely pay attention to the Episcopal Cathedral of the Holy Trinity. Its construction began long before Miami received the status of a city. This is a unique church in the medieval style and Romanesque architecture.
The house of the most famous Italian designer Gianni Versace is also located here. He was shot dead right on the threshold of this building. Many tourists stop here and take pictures with the famous place. The mansion belongs to a very rich man, but part of it is rented out and there is even a restaurant.
