Miami is divided into several districts: South Beach It is where the gorgeous, young sun-seekers head for the day relaxing on the miles and miles of glorious beach, and a night partying in the clubs.

...Ave) is situated past North Miami Beach, near Ojus, and represents something between a two-star hotel and a motel. It was full of French and German elderly couples, actually faced the beach and was quite old and not very comfortable. Everything was old: the curtains was old, the sheets were old, the neighbours were old, and even the staff was not very young. Deceived by the accommodation, we decided to plan our guided tours. The first idea was to ... ...submit this opinion in the Miami section, because this is what our destination was and from there all our tours started. The sites I used to check some information were all Miami and Miami Beach, and I hope my experiences can be of some use to a traveller who would decide to take some guided trips starting in Miami.
The Alligator farm offers airboat rides, and this is what we took. An airboat is unsurprisingly a kind of a boat with an engine which ...

Advantages: sun, fun, sea and more Disadvantages: has bad image, and some rough areas
Miami, has finaly managed to shake off the negative image it once had, and thank-god.I am so glad I went and would definatley go back. The residents are the most beautiful, freindly people I have met. Although when I landed it was raining one hour later the sun was out and shining brightly, and it stayed that way for the rest of my stay. If you go to Miami, then expect long delays at the airport once you land, there are always loads of taxis outside ... ...is relativley cheap. Shopping is great here, check out lincon mall, and if you get the chance hop on a bus to Sawgrass Mills, an absolutley massive mall selling amongst others DKNY at rock bottom prices. Eat breakfast at the news cafe also on ocean drive and watch in amazement as celebrities and models jog by. The beach is clean and a great place to sit and relax with a smoothie from Tutis Cafe on collins avenue (They make the best smoothie in the ...

...areas and decided to visit Miami for a bit of sun. We stayed in the North Beach area and found it pretty easy to get around with local transport although I would recommend that if you dont have a car to stay in South Beach where all the action is. It takes about 40 minutes by bus to get the South. We were only in Miami for 4 days but did as many of the touristy things as possible. If you have been to Orlando already and visited Seaworld then dont ... ...up from Hotels. Miami is also a great place to shop. There is Sawgrass Mills which is one of the largest discount outlets in America or Aventura Mall which is one of the biggest shopping malls, it has a cinema and plenty of places to eat. Is easily accessible by bus which does run frequently.
Food is fairly reasonable but if you are eating on a budget most restaurants have happy hours with discounts on food up until about 7pm.
Although we went ...

Advantages: Atmosphere great, beaches and more Disadvantages: Can be a it dangerous
Miami is cool.! The beaches are great and the youh hostel which is about $12-$15 dollars is an actual hotel that is really really nice.! The beaches are amazing although the charge for deckchair/sunshades etc.. can be extortionate.! The art deco area is nice and the shopping malls great. DO NOT however travel too much and stay out of the southern coastal region as this is where you might get shot. Drive by's, car-jackin etc. occurr on a frequent ... ...sure you hire a car and make the most out of your holiday. Miami is one of the places i have tagged for a re-visit and alhtough it used to have a bad image Will SMith has managed to revive its image somewhat.
Beautiful city with a great atmosphere.! Go ...

I’m such a perfume fiend, I love to try anything new that’s doing the rounds, so this was no different. I’d first seen this advertised on the TV, and to be honest I didn’t really given it a second glance, because I remembered how much I hated J Lo Glow,... more
