Instead of planning an expensive holiday to Venice to enjoy its baths, lagoons and architecture, how about traveling to Miami instead? The Venetian Pool located in Coral Gables, Florida, is a historic public swimming pool in a Venetian Lagoon theme, complete with a Venetian-styled bridge and classic mooring posts. You can just ask your charter bus driver to get you there easily as one of the places to visit in Florida.
The Venetian Pool was built from an old abandoned coral rock quarry. Designed by architect Phineas Paist, the pool is now listed as one of the National Register of Historic Places.

There is also a grotto where natural water-filled caves stretches way back into the hillside, for a whopping twelve feet deep.
