Welcome to Miami, a city that used to be a nearly uninhabitable land but quickly grew into what you find today.
Miami is often associated with beaches, hotels, party scenes, but this tour will take you into the history of the city and help you embrace another vibe.
You will make sure that Miami is not just about skyscrapers and you will see many buildings in various architectural styles.
Chaille Block will show you a surviving example of commercial architecture. The Mediterranean Revival-style Del Gesù Catholic Church will introduce you to charity work for Cuban refugees. The Classical Revival Miami Courthouse is a place where Al Capone, a famous Chicago gangster, passed. The Victorian built Palm Cottage will tell you who had a significant impact on the development of Florida.
La Epoca, a building in Streamline Moderne design, will share the story of a Cuban family. The Olympia Theatre, built with elements of Moorish architecture, will not try to hide that Elvis Presley was there on stage.
After gaining such a comprehensive overview of the city's structures, you'll find yourself at Miami Circle, a centuries-old site with no architecture and no precise information about when and how it arose. But it makes you believe that the land in Miami was prime real estate hundreds of years ago already.
South Beach isn't bad at all. But if you want more, join this tour and connect with Miami on a deeper level.
