Like everywhere else, Miami has its own "old town," which is best explored on foot. Here are a few popular Miami hiking routes so you can cover the most sights in a short amount of time!
1. Miami Beach walking tour - you can walk the entire island down Collins Avenue, checking out the most expensive hotels in the city along the way. The most scenic spot on this Miami walking route is the Art Deco neighborhood, which is home to more than 800 architectural landmarks. If you're lucky, you'll even see retro cars parked outside hotels for an entourage.
2. Go to Ocean Drive to "see yourself and see others" - it's a street that's never quiet. It's also where the tanned, bikini-clad ladies you've probably seen in Hollywood movies rollerblade.
3. For a taste of the Cuban national flavor, take the Miami-Little Havana route, where cafes serve Cuban food, old men play dominoes in the streets, and the smell of cigars wafts through the air.
4. The most "European" of all the Miami walking itineraries is the excursion to Coral Gables, a neighborhood in the southeast of the city. Victorian-style architecture, galleries and boutiques on the Magic Mile, a retro trolley bus with benches instead of seats, and a huge swimming pool with grottoes built in 1922 all create a Mediterranean atmosphere and transport tourists to another continent (and even another era!).
