Miami is very famous in the world.So do you want to go there?Of course ,you should know the basic information about it.
Miami is the capital of South America, for many reason. One, it’s location. Two, it houses many immigrants from Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, and Ecuador, among others. People pick Miami as Spanish is the first language among locals and English is not necessary unless you are in a mainstream job that makes it necessary for you to know it.
That said, there are many things to do in Miami. If you are into the party scene, Miami gets even better. If you follow sports, you will find the best tailgating is at the University of Miami football games, where the Hurricanes have reigned as national champions numerous times. The “U” is synonymous with success, and the tailgating is second to none at the “U.” Sports fans will also find plenty of cold beverages at Marlins, Heat, and Panther games.
The “lounge” crowd needs to look no further than the select hotels in South Beach. The Delano and Shore Club are the two premier hotels that take in the rich and famous, along with people who don’t mind shelling out big bucks for drinks to mingle with the “A list” crowd.

For those that haven’t been there before, Miami is a melting pot of different cultures that makes it very unique to most other cities in the USA.
This is not surprising considering its closeness to the West Indies and South America. Half of Miami’s population is Hispanic, and its various communities, such as Little Haiti and Little Havana, feel more West Indian than American.
This means that Miami is a tourist delight, with the variety of food and music unmatched elsewhere in the States.
Then there are the sports. Oh boy — just sittin’ in the sun and watching sports from sun up to sundown.
Below is a rundown of what’s on offer for those fans that want to head down to Miami for a plethora of sun, surf and sport.
* February 6 to 9: Champions Tour Royal Caribbean Golf Classic, Crandon Park Golf Course, Key Biscayne, Florida
This is your chance to catch some to the great names of golf in their twilight years. Unlike the main PGA tour, the crowds aren’t big and the walk around this beautiful course is as leisurely as the play of the old golfers on display.
The Crandon Park Golf Course is located on Key Biscayne, the small island about six miles (10 kilometers) south of downtown Miami. It is adjacent to the site of the Tennis Masters Series held in mid-March. Tickets for one day is $15 at the gate or $10 if bought in advance. A tournament pass for all days will cost you $20. You can also buy a ticket called the “Classic Pass” for $59 that gives you several passes to all days of play, as well as passes to play several top courses in the Miami area.
