Everyone always thinks of South Beach when they hear about the city of Miami, but what they do not realize is that we are more than just our beaches. We have so many cool places to visit that come along with cool stories you would never have known if you didn’t read this article. So here goes nothing. Let’s jump into the melting pot of what I call home.
Take a Swim in The Venetian Pool
When the beach is just TOO hot, and the sand is burning your feet, we locals like to go to the Venetian Pool, located in the city of Coral Gables; this pool is not the typical public pool. It has been open since 1924 and was created as Coral Gables was founded. This pool is the perfect place to go during a hot summer day but be wary; admissions will close as it reaches max capacity; SHOW UP EARLY!

Have a Cuban cigar on Calle Ocho in Little Havana
Cuba is so famous for its cigars that are hand-rolled, and this Cuba Cigar Co. was started by the Bello family, who grew tobacco when they lived in Cuba. In 1959, Don Pedro Bello decided to leave Cuba as the communist regime grew into power. In 1994, the Bello family opened their Cigar factory and even expanded to the Dominican Republic and are a family-run business in the heart of Miami, Calle Ocho! You can find Don Pedro sitting in front of his business daily, where he will greet and tell you about his business. Having a Cuban cigar is a definite must when visiting Miami because you will be traveling to Miami and Cuba!
Fun fact: Calle Ocho has a festival almost every year to bring the Hispanic community together, and it is called Carnaval Miami. At this event, latinidad is celebrated with food, music, and good vibes at every corner.
Eat a Cuban croqueta at Cafe La Trova
Rated one of the best places to get a Cuban croqueta, is Cafe La Trova. Not only can you get a quick bite to eat but a delicious cocktail from their bar. Now, if you have not ever tried a croqueta, just imagine a mozzarella stick filled with shredded/blended ham, chicken, or even fish. At Cafe La Trova, Serrano ham, Lobster, and Spinach/Feta croquettes are sold and are so divine.
Have a unique photo op at Vizcaya
Vizcaya is one of the best places to go if you are looking for a gorgeous backdrop for your photos. Show off your trip a bit by driving to Vizcaya and enjoying a property tour. You will not regret it!
