Miami's draw is warm water in January, the pastel Art Deco strip on South Beach and Cuban and Venezuelan cooking across Little Havana and beyond. Wynwood carries the galleries and murals, and the Grand Prix and boat shows fill the spring calendar.

Why Miami stands out

  1. The Art Deco Historic District along Ocean Drive in South Beach contains one of the largest concentrations of Art Deco architecture in the world.

  2. Miami's Cuban heritage is centred in Little Havana, where Calle Ocho reflects decades of Cuban exile community and culture.

  3. The city functions as a major gateway between the United States and Latin America, shaping its bilingual culture and business ties.

  4. Miami's barrier-island beaches and warm year-round climate make it one of the most visited coastal cities in the country.

Good to know

  • The city is spread out, and a car or rideshare is generally more practical than public transit for getting between neighbourhoods.
  • Hurricane season runs from June through November and can affect travel plans during those months.
  • South Beach and downtown Miami have distinct atmospheres, so choice of neighbourhood affects the type of trip considerably.
