Little Havana

The air in Little Havana is permeated with Cuban charm. In Domino Park, old men clatter dominoes, and the rich aroma of cigars fills the entire street. Vibrant murals adorn the walls, and Latin music wafts from open doors. A bite of a crispy fried pie, sweet guava sauce dripping onto your hand—it's passionate, boisterous, like a never-ending street party.

Vizcaya Museum & Gardens

I didn't think much of it at first, but after visiting Little Havana and coming here, the contrast was astonishing. It's so beautiful, it's like a European castle recreated. The interior is classically elegant and full of historical significance. The garden outside is designed in a European style, with stone carvings, cascading fountains, lawns, and pine walls, all exuding aristocratic charm. This early 20th-century building is well-preserved, and many parts are still under renovation. It's definitely worth a visit.

Coconut Grove Farmer's Market

I didn't see much shopping, probably because I couldn't find the right things. I was starving, so I looked for a restaurant nearby. There was one in Peacock with a very nice ambiance. The food was okay, but the portions were small. After eating, I walked to the beach and was awestruck by the stunning scenery – it must be the Coconut Sailing Club's pier.

Phillip & Patricia Frost Museum of Science

It's a great place for a family vacation. There are lots of interactive screens and exhibits. At the moment (August 2026), some screens weren't working. The rooms were mostly marine-themed. We weren't able to touch the stingrays, but you can try to touch them at a certain time and only if you can put your hand in the aquarium up to your wrist (people scared the stingrays by splashing their hands in the water). The food in the museum restaurant isn't great.

Bayfront Park

Bay Park always gently embraces the city. The shimmering water reflects the skyline on the opposite shore, yachts rock gently, and people leisurely fish on the dock. At dusk, the sky is tinged with pink and orange, seagulls skim low over masts, and the wind carries a hint of salt. Without the surging of the sea, the bay is more like a quiet haven, making people unconsciously slow down and watch the tide slowly rise from a bench.

Miami Beach - South Beach

Miami's South Beach is a veritable tropical carnival! The sea is a dazzling blue, volleyballs leap across the sand, and music drifts on the sea breeze. Most iconic is the row of pastel-colored Art Deco buildings, which look like sweet candy boxes under the bright sun. As night falls, neon lights illuminate the area, and the beachfront bars waft Latin melodies and the minty aroma of mojitos. People stroll along the fine sand, drinking from sunset until the stars fill the sky—a vibrant, lively atmosphere, as if summer never ends.

Tropical Park

A really great park in the middle of everything. Tropical Park, developed on the site of a former horse track in 1979

PortMiami

Miami Harbor is a bustling and vibrant world. Giant cruise ships, like moving castles, slowly dock, cranes busily load and unload containers, and the air is faintly filled with the scent of seaweed and engine oil. The sizzling aroma of Latin snacks wafts from the shore market, and street performers casually play out the passionate rhythms of salsa. There's no leisurely atmosphere like a resort beach here, but it's full of raw and vibrant energy—the horns of cargo ships mingle with conversations in Spanish, the salty sea breeze blows in your face, and everything is real and lively.
