Hortus Botanicus is one of the world's oldest botanical gardens established in 1638 as an herb garden with medicinal plants for Amsterdam doctors and pharmacists. The plants were brought here from all over the world by the traders of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). Today, Hortus Botanicus holds more than 6,000 different plants, including unique ones, like the 2,000 years old agave cactus and a 300-year-old Eastern Cape giant cycad. The garden's orangery has a beautiful cafe with a large outside terrace open to the garden. Find some peace and quiet here, especially on a drizzly day.

Little Havana is Miami’s beating heart of Cuban-American culture, where vibrant murals, the aroma of Cuban coffee, and the rhythms of salsa music fill the air.

On the last Friday of every month, the neighborhood turns up the energy for Viernes Culturales (Cultural Fridays), a street party with live music, dancing, food, and art. For an even bigger celebration, don’t miss the legendary Calle Ocho Music Festival in March, one of the largest Latino festivals in the U.S.
