Welcome to Miami, Florida.
Miami, well known by many travelers world wide,
is a major city located at the southeast coast
of the state of Florida.
The city is the county seat of Miami-Dade County
which is also the most populous county in the state
of Florida.
Miami is the seventh largest metro area when
compared with all other large cities in the United
States of America
with a population that counts over 5 million
people in 2009.
With this web site we like to show you how Miami
looks like and we do this by showing you many
beautiful pictures completed with some
additional information about the area itself
from where each specific picture was taken.
As example the most beautiful 35 mile stretch of
bayside beach
that can be found anywhere in the United States
is right here in Miami and exploring the beach
the Bayside
Marketplace Miami with over 150 different
retail stores and restaurants is the perfect
place to relax after that.
When the day becomes night you don't want to
miss
the Miami sunset
which offers a spectacular view. When its dark, just
go for a walk along the bayside to enjoy the
another spectacular view when looking at the
city from a distance like we did here on our
Miami at night
page.
At another day you wont like to miss all the fun
at the Miami
Seaquarium where a performance with orca's
steal the show, they are so huge but jumping out
of the water is an easy job for them with their
powerful tail fin.
Less spectacular but for sure not less
fascinating would be a visit at the
Miami Art Museum
where the work of
Carlos Alfonzo, José
Bedia,
Fernando Botero, Ann Hamilton, Guillermo Kuitca,
Morris Louis and Frank Stella
is displayed to name just a few names of local artists
and most displayed art does capture the essence
of Miami.
In Miami you can find also many monuments, each
with his own specific remembrance. The
Torch of
Friendship
was built to signify the passageway for all
of Florida’s friends coming from Latin America
and the Caribbean.
The Monument of
Martyrs is structured out of marble and
burns a torch brightly at the top to remember
all
the brave fallen fighters of Brigade 2506, also
known as the Bay of Pigs Invasion. The
Holocaust
Memorial
was build in 1990 to remember the more then six
million Jewish victims who where killed during
the second world
war senseless Holocaust. Architect and sculptor
Kenneth Treister was the person who designed and
created it.
Many celebrities have a house in Miami but
those properties are of course closed for
visitors, unless you know the
person who lives there personally. But sometime
a celebrity does sell its house or dies and the new
owner does make an hotel from like it happend with the
Villa Versace,
build in the 1930’s by Alden Freeman.
Staying in
such a hotel gives an extra dimention to your
stay in Miami and you got something to talk
about when going home again because you were
staying at the crime scene of such a famous
person from the fashion industry.
Finding a good Hotel in Miami is very easy
there is so much choice. The
Cadillac Hotel,
Marlin Hotel,
Ocean Spray
Hotel,
Sagamore Hotel,
Intercontinental Hotel and the
Sofitel Hotel
are just some of the
many hotels you will find there and depending
on your budget fully capable of all your needs.
