Miami Travel Guide

Miami, the colourful

Lover of the sun and jet-set city par excellence, Miami isn’t shy to show off. And why should it be? It has a lot to brag about. Unique art deco architecture. Bustling streets lined with rainbow-hued murals. Chic hotels with rooftop pools. Beautiful beaches galore. Creative cuisine with a Cuban flair. Legendary dance-’til-the-wee-hours nightclubs.

In Miami, no need to choose between city and sea. You can have it all.

Explore Miami

A city of beaches
You’ll first meet Miami at its palm-studded beaches. The most famous is, of course, the iconic South Beach. In the mood for kayaking or kiteboarding? Head to Crandon Park. Want to escape the crowds? Then Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, with scenic views from its historic lighthouse, is the place to go.
Mastering the art of living
Miami is known for its panache, Caribbean flavour and creative style. See it at the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens and the Wynwood Walls murals (perfect for that Instagram shot). Hear it in the Cuban rhythms frolicking perpetually in the air. And taste it at the restaurant ventanitas (walk-up windows) in Little Havana—a cafecito and Cuban sandwich, please.
(Seemingly) endless shopping
From luxe boutiques to outlet malls to artisan markets, Miami has something for every taste and budget. For a little shopping under the sun, head to the open-air Bayside Marketplace on the waterfront. Looking for designer duds? Collins Avenue/Ocean Drive is your go-to district. Or do what the trendy Miamians do and shop from local artisans at Wynwood.
