VENETIAN POOL & MIRACLE MILE
Time: 4-5 hours
Level: Easy
Self-guided ride
The Venetian Pool (closed Nov-Feb) is perhaps the only swimming pool in the National Register of Historic Places. Fed by underground artesian wells, the pool was once a quarry pit that was re-purposed in 1924. It boasts vine-covered loggias, shady porticos, a Spanish fountain, and cascading waterfalls that spill into a rustic lagoon with coral rock caves and palm-fringed islands. The Miracle Mile shopping district in Coral Gables offers exciting upscale shopping and dining options. You can return via train from the University of Miami.
