About
位于佛罗里达州Miami-Dade County的高档城市，以其Mediterranean Revival建筑风格、享有盛誉的University of Miami校园和规划社区设计而闻名。
Coral Gables is an upscale city in Miami-Dade County, Florida, a short distance from downtown Miami. It is a place to visit for its streets and buildings as much as for any single attraction, and it suits a visitor who wants to walk, look around and take in a planned community that was designed with care.
What to see
- Mediterranean Revival architecture. Much of the city is built in this style, with red-tiled roofs, arched openings and stucco walls, so even ordinary streets have a distinctive look.
- The University of Miami campus. The university is one of the city's best-known institutions, and its grounds are a pleasant place to stroll and see how the campus fits into the surrounding neighbourhoods.
- Planned community design. The city was laid out as a whole, so its streets, plazas and residential areas show a deliberate and coherent character that is interesting to notice as you move through it.
Planning your visit
Coral Gables works well as a half-day or full-day outing. Come for a walk through the residential streets and the main commercial areas, and allow time for the campus. Because it sits within the wider Miami area, it is easy to combine with a visit to downtown Miami or the coast, and the city's upscale character makes it a comfortable base for an unhurried stay in South Florida.
