Miami Tourism & Travel Guide - Know Before you Go!

Miami Overview

On a damp, sweaty night, it’s the bright full moon shinning on the Everglades that gives you a reason to surrender yourself to her charms. Aptly called, ‘The Magic City’- it didn’t take her much time to transform into a Pan-American phenomenon from a mere citrus farming land. During the early growth years of Miami, this area was popular among the locals as Biscayne Bay Country. Located in southern east Florida, Miami was titled “America’s Cleanest City” by Forbes magazine in the year 2008. A home to many entertainment venues, Miami attracts singers, actors, musicians, orchestral players and dancers apart from fun-seeking travellers. A unique ecosystem of Everglades wetland shines on the West of Miami. The south boasts the mangrove islands and humid sandbanks of Florida Keys while the Fort Lauderable in the north of Miami, hosts the most happening parties in town. Not many would know that this International Capital of the World also houses one of the top modelling agencies in the world. Miami, they say, is ‘a hot spot for romance, nightlife and shopping’. How much of this is true can only be revealed on a visit to this glittering mirage of wealth and glamour.
