Miami besides South Beach walking tour of history & architecture

Take this self-guided tour to learn about the history of Miami and embrace another atmosphere of the city that is usually associated with beaches, hotels, and party scenes.

Discover that Miami is not only about skyscrapers and explore many buildings in various architectural styles. See Gesu Catholic Church in the Mediterranean Revival style that will introduce you to the charitable work for Cuban refugees. Admire Miami Courthouse in the Classical Revival style where Al Capone, a famous Chicago gangster, passed through. Get to know the Palm Cottage built in Victorian style that will tell you who significantly impacted Florida's development. Listen to the guide's stories about la Epoca, a building in the Streamline Moderne design, and Olympia Theater, built with elements of Moorish architecture, will not try to hide that Elvis Presley was there on stage.

After you get such a comprehensive overview of the city's structures, find yourself at Miami Circle, a centuries-old site with no architecture and no precise information about when and how it appeared. Enjoy this tour and get connected with Miami on a deeper level.
