5.0 out of 5 stars
User Friendly and Informative,
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Miami & South Florida 2 E (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
Looking for a travel guide, you are probably looking for a few things. Easy to understand, sure. But you also want a good balance between giving you plenty of useful information without bogging you down with so much that it becomes impossible to tell what really is worth checking out from what is not worth the bother. This Rough Guide to Miami fits the bill.
Primarily broken down by areas of the city such as Little Havana, downtown, the various neighborhoods of Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove and Key Biscayne, the Rough Guide also gives good information on nearby cities such as Fort Lauderdale and Key West. The book points you, time and time again, to those spots that are a touch interesting for one reason or another. It also gives solid info on the spots to hit for dining, shopping and so forth. Of course, given the dynamic nature of any decent city, certain information, especially in an area such as restaurants, becomes outdated relatively quickly. But, also of course, certain institutions have been there a while and will continue to be there for some time. The Forge, Joe's Stone Crab (both on the pricier side) and Big Pink (for the little folks like me) aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Nonetheless, I would always suggest augmenting a book such as this with basic information from the internet. The maps in the book are very good, and I found them much better than the Time Out edition on Miami (that actually can be said for the books as a whole, by the way, although Time Out is still pretty good). In fact, although I bought this guide when I moved to South Florida, I like it enough that I will buy this same publisher's guide to Buenos Aires for my upcoming trip there.

Good guide for tourists,
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Miami & South Florida 2 E (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
This is a useful guide for those who visit from abroad.
In my particular case, i was also looking for a travel guide that would give me an accurate overview of the city to serve my business purposes, and this guide didn't quite fufill my expectations.
