Move back a century and no one would have ever believe that Miami was a swampland where mosquitoes

ruled. Thanks to Henry Flagler, and other visionaries like Carl Fisher and William Brickell, to name a few,

Miami is now one of the hottest vacation destinations and definitely the hottest in the Sunshine State. It is one

of the world’s trendiest hotspots, and no, South Beach or SoBe isn’t ‘the’ only place to hang out.

There are some fantastic places to dine, awesome biking and walking tours to soak in the city’s history and

culture, while a city tour of Miami atop an open bus could be the perfect way to make the most of what it has to

offer.

Greater Miami

one can feel on a vacation in this region is nothing short of exhilarating. This is where Latin meets Caribbean

and you get feel the joie de vivre that makes Miami what it is. In Little Havana there’s the tantalizing aroma of

strong Cuban coffee, colorful murals, cigar shops, and unique art galleries like the one in Futurama Building

that offers an opportunity to view an incredible range of paintings, sculpture, and contemporary pieces.

Calle Ocho is the main attraction where you will find loads of art galleries and Cuban restaurants. If you happen

to visit in February or March aka carnaval time, the Calle Ocho Festival is definitely the largest street festival in

Miami you won’t want to miss. There’s everything from salsa dancing to Caribbean and Latin cuisine, and a

dozen stages of entertaining performances.

Dining delights

cauldron of epicurean wonders. From Cuban to Argentine, Spanish, Italian and fusion haute cuisine you are

Twelve on Ocean Drive is one of South Beach’s popular haunts known to be frequented by celebrities as well.
