Miami (USA) – a dream city, saturated with the brightness of the sun and enveloped in a blue trail of a bottomless sky combined with expanses of water. Washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf Stream (just 24 km from the city coast). Situated at an altitude of 1.8 meters above sea level, it has a flat terrain, located between the swampy Everglades and Biscayne Bay. It is the largest metropolis in the southeastern United States. It is located in the state of Florida and belongs to Miami-Dade County. It officially gained city status in 1896.
