Store Your Luggage Around Coral Gables With Bounce

Ask anyone to name five cities in Florida and you can bet anything you like, Coral Cables won't be among them. It might not even be mentioned if you asked them to name twenty, which is a shame as this Florida town, known as The City Beautiful, is one everyone should visit. It's an exceptionally attractive city from the outer suburbs to the center, and one with history seeping from just about every brick.

 In Coral Gables you'll discover wonderful architectural treasures from the decadent era of the 1920s, museums exhibiting private and public works of art, well-preserved historic houses, and replicas of the city's emblem, Venetian-style gondola mooring posts, all over Downtown. They add a splash of color to Miracle Mile, one of Downtown's main shopping areas, but can't detract from the quality of the retail outlets there or in other parts of Coral Gables. Eating out is a pleasurable experience in Coral Gables too as many restaurants make the most of the good weather, so dining al fresco under the Florida sun is something you could be doing a lot of.

You can't speed off on a self-guided tour of Downtown Coral Gables with your luggage in tow. Drop your bags at a Bounce luggage storage service in Coral Gables and your walking pace won't be hindered by clunky suitcase wheels.

Coral Gables City Guide

Top Things To Do

When you find out what the top things to do in Coral Gables are, you're going to be pleasantly surprised. The more well-known city of Miami is only just along the coast and it struggles to compete with Coral Gables culturally. When it boils down to fascinating sites and museums to visit, superior retail outlets to shop in, and an international al fresco dining scene, Coral Gables has it all sussed.

Museums

Making a museum visit in Coral Gables will be a lot more fun than you expect. In fact, it could be such a splashing success you'll want to repeat it several times. On a more serious note, there are museums in Coral Gables where you can learn about the local history, the stories of its residents, and the artists who have made Coral Gables home. Start out with a cooling-off visit to the first of the three on the list below and you might not get any further, so save it to last to really enjoy it.

• The Venetian Pool: When you literally want to dive into the history of Coral Gables you need to go to the Venetian Pool. The Venetian Pool is a 1920s built open-air swimming pool of architectural and historic interest. Two Italian-style turreted towers stand guard over a massive pool that was once part of a rock quarry. The bare stone was turned into a luxurious setting with grottos, waterfalls, and palm trees to please the exigent clients of bygone days and is still an absolute crowd-pleaser today.
• Coral Gables Museum: Everything you want to know about Coral Gables from its founding to the present day can be discovered in the galleries of the Coral Gables Museum. With only a one hundred year history to boast of – the city was a planned community built in 1920 – you might think the showcases of this museum would still be partially bare, they're not. It's crammed with all sorts of artifacts related to Coral Gables as well as documents and photographs from the early days.  
• Merrick House Museum: The Merrick House Museum is the former home of the wealthy businessman who founded Coral Gables. Each of the house's fourteen rooms is furnished with authentic 1920s antiques which belonged to the original owner and his family. George Merrick was a poet as well as a town planner, and you can pick up a book of his works from the house and sit in the beautiful grounds to read it.

Shopping

From pedestrianized streets lined with world-class shops and boutiques to indoor, air-conditioned malls you can escape from the Florida heat and humidity in for an entire afternoon and still not see all of the stores. When you're going shopping in Coral Gables, the only question you'll find yourself asking is where to start. The answer is written for you below.

• The Miracle Mile: Why Coral Gables' Miracle Mile is called a mile when it's in fact only half a mile long, is anyone's guess. It may just seem twice as long as it is after you've been in and out of all of the stores that line each side of this section of street in Downtown Coral Gables central business district. It's a super place to shop so forget about the conundrum of its length and enjoy the palm tree-lined pedestrian walkways and the Med-style plazas.
• Merrick Park: Named for the founder of Coral Gables, he would undoubtedly approve of the deluxe mall Merrick Park is. Built in a village style around a central plaza with a constantly spurting fountain, the mall has lots of Mediterranean appeal. This is not a bargain basement, but high-end shopping at its best.   
• Coral Gables Farmers Market: You can guarantee any produce you see on the stalls of the Coral Gables Farmers Market has been ripened by the Florida sun. All of the goods on sale at this market are either homegrown or handmade, so whatever you choose to buy it'll either be freshly harvested or made to a very high standard. 

Dining

Lunch in the sun or dinner under the stars? That's the choice you'll get at many of the restaurants in Coral Gables. That, along with what to pick from the varied and excellent menus for your meal will be the big dilemmas you'll need to decide before you can sit down to eat.

• Fugato: Wherever you take a seat at Fugato, inside or out on the sidewalk, you'll be in for a treat of fusion food which almost knows no bounds. Here you'll be truly tempted by the blend of French, Spanish, Italian, and American food which has been turned into dishes like sugar-crusted salmon, chicken Julien, and the fish of the day which changes daily.
• Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar: When you want classics, but good quality classics cooked to perfection, stop by Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar in Coral Gables. Good beef, great lobster, even better wine and first-class service are not what you can expect here, they're what you get.
• Seasons 52: At Seasons 52 the menu changes with the seasons, so what you'll get depends on the time of the year. This restaurant uses traditional cooking methods like brick and oak-fired ovens for roasting and baking, so the food has a more natural rustic taste. They have great fish and vegetarian dishes too as well as a cocktail list fifty-two drinks long.
