Miami - Highlights

There is nothing more striking than neon-infused Ocean Drive at night, but Miami's charms go beyond the beach.

Crunch along the crushed coral off Ocean Drive and take in the pastel-coloured buildings of a bygone era at South Beach's Art Deco District. Saunter through the Wolfsonian, the Jewish Museum of Southern Florida, and the World Erotic Art Museum. Marvel at the spectacular occupants of the funky Jungle Island or relax in the leafy grounds of Vizcaya. Watch Cuban men in flowing guayberas (peasant blouses) play dominoes in Maximo Gomez Park or even join them.

Sightseeing Tips

Take a cheap tour of the entire Art Deco District on a local bus any day. On Sundays, join a free tour of the red-stone landmark Biltmore Hotel for a flavour of 1920s opulence.
