The Best of NileGuide
- Miami may not be well-known as a magnet for history buffs, but there is a certain set of visitors who arrive to take a trip into the faded mist of the past. Once the legions of history-loving travelers exhaust their options in the world of museums, they will find numerous other diversions. In a city where famous homes often double as living repositories, those with a weakness for pilgrimages to places where history was made won't be disappointed. In most cases, they are also sites that will enchant travelers with an interest of historical architecture, old-world craftsmanship, antiques and classical gardens.
