Miami is not only the second-largest city of Florida, but first and foremost the most colorful. In the metropolitan area, which is especially popular with pensioners, has about 5.5 million inhabitants, of which only 400,000 live within the city itself. In the 80s of the past century, Miami was the main drug trafficking location in the northern hemisphere and thus was one of the most dangerous American cities. But these times are over. Today, tourism is one of the most important economic factors. Due to the perfect weather, Miami is a dream destination all year round. The temperatures rarely drop below 20 degrees Celsius in winter; the water temperature is usually even a bit higher. So, a beach holiday is always possible. Although the city has a lot to offer besides marvelous beaches, most guests want to visit the nearby Everglades, the famous marshland in the south of Florida.
