Miami
About 450,000 people in the city, and around 6 million in the whole metro area.
Miami is a sunny, colorful city on the coast of Florida, famous for its warm weather, palm trees, and beautiful beaches. It is a lively place where many people speak both English and Spanish, and it is a big gateway between the United States and Latin America.
You can splash in the warm ocean at South Beach, watch tall shiny skyscrapers light up at night, and explore colorful art walls in the Wynwood neighborhood. You can also see crocodiles and birds in the nearby Everglades, cheer for sports teams, and taste yummy Cuban food.
Downtown & skyline
Downtown Miami is full of tall glass towers that shine in the sun and glow with lights at night. From the water you can see one of the prettiest skylines in all of Florida.
Beaches
Miami Beach and South Beach have soft sand and warm, clear water that is perfect for swimming and building sandcastles. Along the shore you can see colorful lifeguard towers painted in bright happy colors.
Food & culture
In a neighborhood called Little Havana you can hear Latin music and taste Cuban treats like sweet pastries and fresh fruit shakes. Miami mixes cultures from many countries, which makes its food and festivals extra fun.
Nature & the Everglades
Just outside the city is the Everglades, a huge wild wetland where alligators, turtles, and pink birds live. You can ride an airboat over the grassy water and spot amazing animals in the wild.
