Máximo Gómez Park has been a beloved meeting spot for the Cuban community, particularly the elderly members, for more than 35 years. This Little Havana landmark is famous for being a gathering place for domino and chess players, hence its popular name Domino Park. Within this vibrant atmosphere, it is tremendously exciting to watch it all happen over a coffee while talking about everything, from political matters to neighborhood gossip.
Do & See
Miami has unlimited ways to charm its visitors, as the city's natural beauty and its surroundings are breathtaking, while its great climate offers chances for outdoor activities pretty much all year round. While staying close to the city will allow you to enjoy some of the best beaches on the planet, do also explore a little further and visit the wonders of the Everglades or the Florida Keys. Even though the weather nearly forces you to stroll around in the sun, Miami's architectural past and its vibrant art scene will tempt you to spend some time indoors, and the warmth of the vastly international population will make you want to stay here for good.
