Top Things to Do In Miami
Miami Museum of Science and Space Transit Nothing is staid or boring in Miami, least of
all its museums. Miami Seaquarium At least a half a day is required to fully
enjoy south Florida's premier attraction. Miami-Dade Cultural Centre The outwardly unattractive complex of the
Miami-Dade Cultural Centre, in the rather unsavoury area of West
Flagler Street, is worth a visit because it houses a plethora of
interesting artistic and historic exhibits. Vizcaya Villa Lovers of antiques revel in visiting the
magnificent 34-room Vizcaya bayfront villa, built in the Italian
Renaissance style in 1916 as a winter retreat for wealthy
industrialist, James Deering. Spanish Monastery Miami boasts the oldest building in the
Western Hemisphere. Coral Castle Legend has it that unrequited love led a
Latvian immigrant to spend 25 years single-handedly carving a
castle out of rock between the Florida Keys and Miami, on the South
Dixie Highway. Everglades National Park The vast Everglades National Park that spans
the tip of the Florida peninsula, 35 miles (56km) southwest of
Miami, has been described as a 40-mile-wide (64km) slow-moving
river of grass, interspersed with shallow wetlands.
