Miami is home to the Miami Dolphins (NFL), Florida Marlins (MLB) at American Airlines Arena, and the Miami Heat (NBA). Travel to Miami to party with beautiful people by night and recover on beautiful beaches by day. Once the favorite retirement city of the old and arthritic, Miami is now widely considered among the hippest and most cosmopolitan cities in the world – thanks in large part to South Beach.
High-end hotels, sizzling nightlife, superior shopping, and renowned restaurants are all part of Miami’s rep, with a 15-mile-long sugar-white-sand beach bordering it all that’s attracted visitors (both young and old) to this south Florida city for decades. Top Miami attractions include Miami River Historical Jungle Tours, Jewish Museum of Florida, Historical Museum of Southern Florida, Wings Over Miami Air Museum, Bayside Marketplace, CocoWalk, Latin American Art Museum, Miami Art Museum and Venetian Pool. Stunning Miami with mile upon mile of sun and sand, is a meeting place for the world's young, rich and beautiful.
It's the home of Latin American big business, and is a US fashion capital. Enjoy salsa music and feast on fresh seafood in this sultry port city. Miami may be the retirement capital of the United States, but there is nothing old fashioned about this bright, brash playground city that shines under the sunny Florida skies. This coastal city was a sleepy holiday town until the 1920s, when the 'in crowd' decided to make it their own. The town bloomed into a fun seaside capital and was blessed with a legacy of Art Deco architecture, particularly along South Beach, which has been carefully preserved. During World War II the forces came to town when Miami was an important military base.
Today, apart from being a favourite holiday Mecca and sunny spot for retirees, it is also the gateway to the Caribbean and Latin America. Miami's large Cuban community add to the atmosphere in the sultry neighbourhood of Little Havana. Trendsetters hang out in Coconut Grove, while sunlovers strew the miles of white sandy beaches. For families there are entertaining attractions like the Seaquarium and Metrozoo.
The nightlife is sophisticated and varied. The city also gives easy access to Florida's popular Gold Coast resorts and attractions, as well as the natural wonder of the Florida Everglades. No wonder Miami is America's favourite holiday destination and the hub of a vibrant cruise ship industry, its port jammed constantly with sleek passenger liners. North of the city, miles of beautiful sandy beaches of the Gold Coast are hemmed in by southeast Florida's major tourist resorts: Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach and Palm Beach.
