Growing up in South Florida was definitely a cool experience. While I miss the winds and scenery of California, South Florida is nice too. There is always a new place to visit here and a new city to see. There are new restaurants springing up all the time and hundreds of festivals and art galleries to choose from. Here are some of the top things to see in Miami.
1. Wynwood
Wynwood is a really cool place to see for graffiti and street art. Many street artists have come here looking for a place to showcase their work for all to see.
2. Coconut Grove
Here, you can find great restaurants and brunch places, including GreenStreet Cafe. For a quiet morning or a lively night, you can find it all at the grove.
3. Lincoln Road
This is perhaps what Miami is known for. Anyone visiting will probably make it to South Beach and Lincoln Road. There are great shops all around and restaurants of all sorts. Stop by Sugar Factory for some sweet drinks and treats. You can also head to Ladurée for some delicious macaroons and feel like you're in Paris.
4. Miami Beach
Walk down Ocean Drive and enjoy the beautiful sights and great weather. If you love the water, take a swim or simply tan. Florida weather is usually pretty sunny so everyday is a beach day.
5. Museum Park
You can visit the Perez Art Museum and then take a visit to the new Frost Science center. This is a beautiful place to bring friends or family who enjoy art and the outside of the museum is gorgeous as well.
6. Go to Versailles
Go to Versailles for the best authentic Cuban food. Located right on Calle Ocho, Versailles is in the heart of Little Havana and you can visit Domino Park as well.
7. Coral Reefs
Charter a boat and visit the coral reefs around Miami or go fishing. Boating and jet skiing are a great pass time in the beaches here. There are many islands and cute little restaurants to check out if you have the chance.
8. Vizcaya Palace
Head over to the Vizcaya Palace for some artsy Instagram pictures and pretend to be royal for a day. You can learn about the history of Miami and enjoy some beautiful scenery.
