Miami - safety and locations

[ITD]

Hi, I have a business trip to Miami at the end of August and the opportunity to add a couple of days to myself. I'm travelling alone so I want to know about anywhere I should avoid and any special precautions to take - I know nothing about Miami except what I see on TV so would appreciate any advice on what it's really like.

Also, any view on interesting things to point a camera at? I'm not into street photography, more usually into landscapes and buildings etc.

Thanks!

And Mosquitoes with Zika....

Seriously, that's the 1 square mile 'hot spot' for zika.

Villa Vizcaya, Fairchild Tropical Botanical Gardens, Pincrest Gardens, Everglades National Park and about an hour drive north to Delray the Morikami (all for landscapes).
