Last month, a friend of mine from France visited me in New York<\/strong>. I was so happy to show her around the city, but the highlight of her visit was our trip to Miami. We planned a 4-day trip to discover its beautiful beaches and unique atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Staying in South Beach<\/h3>\n

We rented a room in South Beach<\/strong>, one of the most iconic areas in Miami<\/strong>. The vibe there is unlike anywhere else: pastel-colored Art Deco buildings<\/strong>, palm-lined streets, and a constant buzz of energy. The ocean was only two blocks from our room, so we spent a lot of time walking along the beach and looking at the famous lifeguard towers, spotting different shapes and colors each time. The beach was amazing: the water was crystal clear, and the sand was white and soft. Whether it was swimming, sunbathing, or simply taking in the view, every moment felt like a postcard.<\/p>\n

One thing that really surprised me was the wildlife. I saw an iguana casually walking around and plenty of small lizards. It added a wild, tropical feel to the city. You don\u2019t expect to run into reptiles while exploring a major urban destination, but in Miami, it is completely normal. That makes the city very unique.<\/p>\n

Exploring beyond South beach<\/h3>\n

We also left South Beach to discover more of the city. We started by visiting the Wynwood Walls<\/strong>. The area was filled with massive murals created by artists from around the world. Every wall tells a story, and every corner amazed us. The creativity and colors were incredible, and it really felt like walking through an open-air art gallery.<\/p>\n

On our last night, we went to the Cuban neighborhood of Little Havana. Walking down Calle Ocho, I could hear Latin music playing and see people dancing in the bars. We went to a salsa and bachata party and it truly felt like leaving the country for one night.<\/p>\n

Final thoughts<\/h3>\n

I really liked Miami. It\u2019s a great vacation destination, very different from my daily life in New York. It truly felt like four days out of time\u2014just relaxing on paradisiacal beaches and having fun with a friend I had missed.<\/p>\n
