About Miami
Miami is a city that cannot be fully captured in any travel guide in the world — a vibrant metropolis where Latin soul meets American entrepreneurship and Caribbean lifestyle. South Beach, with its legendary Art Deco architecture from the 1930s and 1940s, the pastel-colored facades along Ocean Drive, and the turquoise Atlantic, is the iconic entry point: a beach paradise by day, one of the hottest party strips in the world by night. Wynwood Walls has transformed a former warehouse district into an open-air gallery where world-famous street artists create entire building facades. Little Havana around Calle Ocho is the Cuban heart of Miami: Here, cigars are hand-rolled, dominoes are played in Maximo Gomez Park, and strong cafecito is served in paper cups. The cuisine combines Cuban, Haitian, Colombian, and American influences into a culinary experience known as New World Cuisine. Key Biscayne, an offshore island accessible via the Rickenbacker Causeway, offers one of South Florida's most beautiful family beaches at Crandon Park. A day trip to the Everglades (only 45 minutes away) takes you by airboat through the swamp landscape to see alligators and exotic birdlife. The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, an Italian Renaissance palace on the shores of Biscayne Bay, and the Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) complement the cultural program. Miami is both Latin America and the USA — loud, colorful, and uniquely vibrant.
