MIAMI - Travelguide to 540 sights of the city


The book is available, at a price of $ 9.99, at the following websites:



This book is also available in German language, go to: www.miamireisefuehrer.com
----------
With this travel guide, I want to introduce you to the history of the city and its historic buildings, and show you other alternatives to restaurants, nightclubs and hotels.
I want to show you to the most important sights of Miami. Miami isn’t only the Party City of the United States and a destination for millions of visitors who want to enjoy the white beaches and an endless summer. Besides hundreds of nightclubs, discotheques, restaurants and hotels, this city has dozens of other sights to explore.
This book differs from any other, usual travel guide. You will not find tips were to get a cheap or expensive meal, what’s the best hotel to stay, or what are the most important nightclubs in the city? This, I want to leave for your personal taste.
To give you an idea of what you can expect in Miami, I have put together this travel guide. It describes more than 540 different attractions and points of interest in the city, such as monuments, landmarks, museums, parks, cultural institutions and other tourist attractions. Each ‘point of interest’ includes the full address, GPS position, local transit connections, Internet address (if available) and a detailed description, as the following example shows:
----------
AMERICAN AIRLINES ARENA (42)
703 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL 33132
Category: Sports Arena, Theater/Concert Hall
GPS: 25.781305,-80.189037
Web: www.aaarena.com
Local transit: Metrobus: Route 3, 93, 95, 103, 119 - Metromover: Omni Loop, Stop Freedom Tower - Miami Trolley: Biscayne Route Stop 10, Coral Way Route Stop 2
Area map: 1, 18
Description of the point of interest.
----------
About 35 area maps and local transit schedules will help you, to find your way through the city. By clicking onto the GPS position, it will take you to ‘Google Maps’, where the attraction is displayed on the map. By clicking the ‘Local transit’ link, or the bus route number, you will be taken to the timetables of the transportation services. Clicking the web addresses, you can obtain more comprehensive information about the sights on the relevant websites. Each ‘point of interest’, described here, has a number between brackets (000). This helps you to find these ‘point of interest’ on the area map.
I’ve tried to describe as many highlights as possible, here in this book, without boring you. For this reason, I have published the most comprehensive travel guide to Miami here. Many ‘points of interest’, which are described in this book, have been mentioned, for the first time, in a travel guide, and have almost only known by locals. Even after more than fifteen years, that I have lived here in South Florida, there are still many interesting places, which are worth discovering.
Of course, Miami has to show much more, as I can tell in this book. I’ve tried to describe the best-known and most important highlights of this fantastic city. In case, you would like to get more information, I wrote other travel guides and books about Miami, that describe specific locations or topics, or inform about the history of the city. You can find these books on my website: www.jackyoung.us, or at the important booksellers. In particular, I would like to recommend my travel guide: Miami discovered by foot and Miami Images, which can be a picture book and a nice memory of your vacation. It shows a lot of photos you might have forgotten to take on the spot.
I hope you like the selection I present to you below, and you enjoy reading this travel guide and visiting some of the highlights.

MIAMI - Reiseführer zu 540 Sehenswürdigkeiten



In diesem Buch möchte ich Ihnen die Sehenswürdigkeiten von Miami vorstellen. Miami ist nicht nur Amerikas Party City und das Ziel von Millionen Besuchern, welche die weiße Sandstrände und den ewigen Sommer genießen wollen, sondern diese Stadt hat auch neben Hunderten von Nachtklubs, Diskotheken, Restaurants und Hotels jede Menge anderer Sehenswürdigkeiten zu bieten.
Dieses Buch unterscheidet sich ganz erheblich von den gängigen Reiseführern. Sie finden hier keine Hinweise dazu, wo Sie vielleicht preiswert oder teuer essen gehen können, wo Sie am besten übernachten sollten oder welches die angesagtesten Nachtklubs der Stadt sind. Dies möchte ich Ihrem persönlichen Geschmack überlassen.
Mit diesem Reiseführer möchte ich Ihnen die Geschichte der Stadt und deren historische Gebäude näher bringen, sowie Ihnen andere Alternativen aufzeigen, was Sie außer Stränden, Restaurants, Nachtklubs und Hotels noch zu erwarten haben.
Um Ihnen einen Eindruck zu vermitteln, was Sie noch in Miami erwartet, habe ich diesen Reiseführer zusammengestellt. Er beschreibt über 540 verschiedene Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Stadt, wie Baudenkmäler, Museen, Parks, kulturelle Einrichtungen und andere touristische Attraktionen. Jeder der Sehenswürdigkeiten sind die genaue Adresse, GPS-Position, Nahverkehrsanbindung, Internet Adresse (soweit vorhanden) sowie eine ausführliche Beschreibung beigefügt, wie das folgende Beispiel zeigt:
----------
AMERICAN AIRLINES ARENA (42)
703 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL 33132
Kategorie: Sportstätte, Theater/Konzerthalle
GPS: 25.781305,-80.189037
Web: www.aaarena.com
Nahverkehr: Metrobus: Linie 3, 93, 95, 103, 119Metromover: Omni Loop, Haltestelle Freedom Tower - Miami Trolley: Biscayne Route Stopp 10, Coral Way Route Stopp 2
Übersichtskarte: 1, 18
Beschreibung der Sehenswürdigkeit
----------
Über 35 Übersichtskarten und Nahverkehrs-Fahrpläne helfen Ihnen, sich in der Stadt zurechtzufinden. Durch Anklicken der GPS-Position gelangen Sie zu Google-Maps, wo Ihnen die Sehenswürdigkeit nochmals genau in einer Landkarte angezeigt wird. Durch klicken auf die Nahverkehrsmittel oder Buslinien gelangen Sie zu den entsprechenden Fahrplänen der Verkehrsbetriebe. Durch Anklicken der Internet Adresse können Sie sich noch umfassender auf den entsprechenden Internetseiten informieren. Jede der hier beschriebenen Sehenswürdigkeiten ist mit einer in Klammern (000) stehenden Nummer versehen. Dies hilft Ihnen, sich leichter auf den Übersichtskarten zurechtzufinden.  
Ich habe versucht, so viele Sehenswürdigkeiten, als nur möglich, für Sie hier unterzubringen. Dadurch ist der wohl umfassendste Reiseführer entstanden, welchen Sie über Miami erhalten können. Viele der Ziele, welche hier beschrieben werden, haben zum ersten Mal überhaupt Erwähnung in einem Reiseführer gefunden und sind seither fast nur Einheimischen bekannt. Selbst nach über fünfzehn Jahren, die ich hier in Südflorida lebe, findet sich immer wieder das ein oder andere Unentdeckte, welches einen Besuch wert ist.
Natürlich bietet Miami trotzdem weit mehr, als ich hier berichten kann. Doch habe ich mich bemüht die bekanntesten und wichtigsten Schauplätze, dieser fantastischen Stadt, zu beschreiben. Für denjenigen, dem dieses Buch noch nicht ausreicht, habe ich noch andere Reiseführer und Beschreibungen über Miami verfasst, die spezielle Orte oder Themen beschreiben oder sich mit der historischen Geschichte der Stadt beschäftigen. Sie finden diese auf meiner Internetseite www.jackyoung.us oder bei den entsprechenden Buchanbietern. Besonders möchte ich Ihnen dabei meinen Reiseführer Miami zu Fuß entdecken und Miami in Bildern ans Herz legen, der als Bildband eine schöne Erinnerung Ihres Urlaubes darstellen kann und viele Bilder zeigt, die Sie vielleicht vergessen haben vor Ort zu machen.
