What To Expect
Ocean Drive
Miami's most iconic thoroughfare stretches along the Atlantic shore where Art Deco hotels, sidewalk cafes, and palm trees create the quintessential Miami Beach scene immortalized in countless films and photographs. The wide sandy beach attracts sunbathers, volleyball players, and swimmers to waters that glow impossibly turquoise beneath the subtropical sun. By night, neon lights illuminate the historic facades while the parade of beautiful people, classic cars, and pulsing nightclubs transforms Ocean Drive into an open-air party that defines Miami's glamorous reputation.

Art Deco Historic District
The world's largest collection of Art Deco architecture encompasses over 800 buildings constructed between 1923 and 1943, their streamlined forms, geometric patterns, and tropical motifs creating a unique Miami Beach style. Pastel facades in flamingo pink, seafoam green, and sunshine yellow line Collins Avenue, Washington Avenue, and the cross streets where each building tells a story of Depression-era optimism and resort glamour. The Miami Design Preservation League saved these treasures from demolition in the 1970s, and today the district represents the only 20th-century neighborhood listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Espanola Way
This charming pedestrian street transports visitors to a Mediterranean village with its Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, wrought-iron balconies, and bougainvillea-draped facades built in 1925. Originally intended as an artists' colony, the street has hosted everyone from Al Capone's gambling operations to Desi Arnaz's rumba band, and today its sidewalk cafes and boutiques preserve a European intimacy. Weekend evenings bring live music to the outdoor restaurants while fairy lights twinkle overhead, creating one of South Beach's most romantic dining destinations.

Little Havana
The heart of Miami's Cuban exile community pulses along Southwest 8th Street where the aroma of café Cubano, the click of domino tiles, and the rhythms of salsa music create an atmosphere more Havana than Florida. Cigar rollers practice their craft in storefront factories, ventanitas serve cortaditos through walk-up windows, and Máximo Gómez Park's elderly players continue domino games that began decades ago on the island. The Calle Ocho Walk of Fame honors Latin music legends while restaurants serve authentic ropa vieja and lechón asado that have sustained generations of exiles dreaming of home.

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens (Pass By)
This Italian Renaissance-style villa built in 1916 for industrialist James Deering showcases the Gilded Age ambitions of Miami's early developers, its 34 decorated rooms filled with European antiques spanning 2,000 years. The formal gardens descend through terraces, fountains, and sculptures toward Biscayne Bay, where a stone barge breakwater completes the Mediterranean fantasy. The estate's combination of European grandeur and tropical setting has made it Miami's most elegant event venue and a window into the aspirations that shaped the city's development.
Wynwood Walls
This outdoor museum transformed a neglected warehouse district into the world's premier street art destination, its walls covered by murals from over 50 artists representing 16 countries. Developer Tony Goldman invited international muralists to paint the blank walls beginning in 2009, sparking a creative explosion that has made Wynwood Miami's hippest neighborhood for galleries, breweries, and restaurants. The collection changes constantly as new works replace old, creating a ever-evolving canvas that draws art lovers, Instagram influencers, and curious visitors to wander its colorful corridors.

Miami Design District
Miami's luxury shopping and contemporary art destination occupies 18 square blocks where cutting-edge architecture houses flagship boutiques from the world's most prestigious fashion houses. The neighborhood's transformation from furniture showroom district to design mecca has attracted Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Hermès alongside galleries, restaurants, and public art installations that blur the line between commerce and culture. The Institute of Contemporary Art Miami anchors the district's cultural offerings, while sculptural facades and designer storefronts create a streetscape where shopping becomes an aesthetic experience.

Coconut Grove
Miami's oldest continuously inhabited neighborhood retains the bohemian character that attracted artists, writers, and free spirits long before South Beach's glamour era. Banyan trees shade the village center where outdoor cafes, boutiques, and galleries cluster around CocoWalk and the Mayfair shops. The waterfront Peacock Park, historic Plymouth Congregational Church, and Barnacle Historic State Park preserve the tropical village atmosphere that has made the Grove a favorite of residents seeking Miami authenticity over tourist spectacle.

Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) (Pass By)
This stunning waterfront museum designed by Herzog & de Meuron showcases contemporary and modern art from the Americas, Africa, and beyond in galleries that open onto Biscayne Bay through floor-to-ceiling windows. The building's innovative design features hanging gardens that provide natural shade and dramatic views of the Miami skyline from expansive terraces. The collection emphasizes works that explore the cultural crossroads defining Miami's identity, from Caribbean and Latin American masters to emerging artists reshaping the contemporary scene.

This beautifully landscaped park at the southern tip of Miami Beach offers front-row seats to one of America's busiest cruise ship channels, where massive vessels glide past close enough to wave at passengers departing for the Caribbean. The park's pier extends into Government Cut, providing anglers, photographers, and sunset watchers with unobstructed views of Fisher Island, the Port of Miami, and the downtown skyline. Green lawns, a splash playground, and the excellent Smith & Wollensky restaurant make this a favorite gathering spot for families and couples seeking Miami's most spectacular sunsets.

Key Biscayne (Pass By)
This barrier island paradise just minutes from downtown Miami offers some of South Florida's most pristine beaches, protected from development by its status as a wealthy residential enclave and state park lands. Crandon Park's two miles of beach consistently rank among America's finest, while Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park at the island's tip features a historic lighthouse and sea-grape-shaded shores. The island's village atmosphere, world-class tennis facility, and accessible reef snorkeling provide a tranquil escape from Miami's urban intensity.
Lincoln Road (Pass By)
This pedestrian promenade designed by Morris Lapidus in 1960 stretches seven blocks through the heart of Miami Beach, its tropical landscaping, outdoor cafes, and eclectic retail mix creating South Florida's favorite people-watching destination. The mall's Sunday farmers' market, street performers, and gallery openings attract a diverse crowd from European tourists to local artists who gather beneath the sculptural canopies and towering palms. Lincoln Road's evolution from glamorous shopping street to cultural gathering place reflects Miami Beach's transformation from retiree haven to international arts destination.
