1. Art Deco Historic District with about 800 related buildings - my favorites: Cavalier Hotel (1320 Ocean Drive) and the Carlyle (1250 Ocean Drive)
2. Watch the athletic men (jocks) and women on the Lummus Park Beach and plan to start work-outs for myself
3. Observe the posh display of all those trendy guys on the Ocean Drive
4. Miami Trolley, a free tourist shuttle vehicle operating between the downtown and the Port
5. South Pointe Park, for a calm retreat
6. Lincoln Road on South Beach, the world-famous shopping street
7. Yummy natural fruit juices and sophisticated cocktails in El Palacio de los Jogos
8. The remarkable galleries of the Wynwood Arts District - our favorites: Wynwood Walls and Locust Projects
9. Matheson Hammock Park Beach, maybe the most beautiful beach in Miami (Coral Gables)
10. One of the cleanest US big cities
11. Lagoons, inlets, islands en masse - You can't get tired of it

1. Cockroaches show up in our 4-star hotel - we know that they are part of the inventory in Miami hotels
2. Little Havana was a huge disappointment, especially in the daytime (in evening somewhat better)
3. The 20-25% tip almost enforced, specially in the restaurants of South Beach
4. Excessive taxi fares (Uber only slightly cheaper)
5. An unlikeable character of South Beach: man, mostly between age 30-40, from East Coast, newly rich, swollen-headed, snob, the worst kind of exhibitionist, douchebag, (a Chad or a Brad), Oh, and a shit-kicker - the Miami-grown jocks are far better
6. Florida sun's pitiless rays (protect yourself!)
7. There are a lot of snobs and, at the same time, ignorant locals and vacationers
8. Public transportation is underdeveloped
9. A lot of local Latina girls are a gold digger
10. A bottle of beer is about 13 USD in the dance clubs
