After our breakfast at the Party Cake Bakery in Little Havana, we took the public bus to downtown Miami, passing the Brickell City Centre.
The Brickell City Centre is a huge shopping mall with many brandname retail stores.
We walked by this mall on the second day of our visit here. The City Centre is modern, beautiful and spacious but with few public seats for visitors to rest their feet. From Little Havana, it was about a two miles (3.2 kilometers) walk for us. Following Southwest 8th Street eastward, the bus led us through both the neighborhoods of Brickell and downtown Miami.
Just after a few short stops, we were in downtown Miami. Since we wanted to explore Miami using the public transit system, we made some interesting discovery regarding the trolley service in this vibrant city.
The trolley rides in Miami are free for all people in Miami! It offers various routes covering quite a large area downtown and some of them pass through the Brickell neighborhood. The trolley system can be a convenient way to get around and explore different areas of the city.
On the afternoon we took the trolley bus ride, the outside temperature was at 92 degree C.
But we were sitting comfortably on the wooden seat in the air conditioned trolley taking us through the Brickell neighborhood.
Brickell is known for its upscale residential towers and luxurious homes and we came across some impressive mansions along the way.
The trolley bus stopped at the Miami City Hall located by the water. We jumped off and strolled along the waterfront.
Taking a free ride on the Miami's trolley bus, we were able to take in the sights and enjoyed the architectural diversity that the area has to offer.
We had a great time exploring the various areas in the downtown area Miami.
