About Miami

Miami is two cities in one. The glamorous, art-deco South Beach strip is one of the world's great beach experiences, with a nightlife to match. And then there is the Miami that belongs to the city: the Cuban culture of Little Havana, the arts scene in Wynwood, the warmth and food of the Dominican and Haitian communities. Miami rewards those who leave the beach occasionally.
