Visiting America's Cleanest and richest city

Miami has been declared as the cleanest city of America by Forbes magazine and also considered the richest city in terms of purchasing power. However, that was not the reason for me to select it as my holiday destination. Quite naturally, the long sandy beaches were the main attraction for me. Once, the destination has been fixed, the next step was to collect cheap flights tickets to Miami. Being one of the most visited cities in the world, almost all major airlines are operating flights to Miami. With a large number of cheap airline flights and availability of cheap tickets, the journey to Miami is not so costly. Even the cost of living is also very less when compared with many other developed cities in the world.


I reached there in one of the cheap flights to Miami on time and I never forget that I could enjoy each and every moment spent there right from the time I have landed in the airport. As told earlier, almost all major airlines are operating flights to Miami like American Airlines. Hence the airport is always busy. However, there was no delay in completing the formalities and hence there is no trouble for the passengers.

Miami beaches are world famous but the city has many other attractions to offer to a visitor. There are several parks which also functions as recreation centers. I could see many children and elders spending their evenings in such parks engaged in different types of recreational activities. During my short stay, I used to spend most of the evenings in any one of the parks.

The city houses many venues for performing arts. The love for art is clearly visible in the locals. The newest among the venues for performing arts in the city, Adrienne Arsht Center for Performing Arts is the second largest one in United States of America. It houses the famous Florida Grand Opera too. As the love for art, the eagerness of the locals to preserve their culture and heritage is clearly visible at many museums. The most important ones among them are History Museum Miami, Miami Art museum and Miami Children’s Museum. I have spent a lot of time in those museums.


The food of Miami also has diversity. You will get Caribbean Cuisines as well as Latin American and American ones. The visitors are from different parts of the world and hence most of the hotels are serving different varieties of food. The tourists coming in cruise vessels are visiting this city in large numbers. Miami port is the largest cruise port in the vessel. Along with tourism, Miami is a thriving business center too. Many major corporate houses have a strong presence here and it has a strong presence in international trade too. That is why I could turn this personal tour to a business one too.

Though, there are several attractions here, you cannot enjoy the life in Miami without spending at least one evening in any of the beaches. The beaches where the atmosphere is filled with bands and music will certainly pour a lot of energy into you.
