Arty vibes
The city with style
Design, art and fashion have become the beating heart of Miami and as a result, the city now houses some of the coolest arts neighbourhoods in the USA.
Wynwood Art District
The once bleak and bare warehouses of Wynwood are now a major Miami art statement.Transformed into colourful canvases, murals and street art were the original spark, which generated an artistic renaissance in the area. The eclectic district is hub for art galleries – there are over 70 – as well as creative enterprises.
Design District
The Design District is the more upscale, modern version of the indie Wynwood District. The visual offerings of the neighbourhood, which complement the urban and tropical elements of Miami, have attracted restaurateurs and fashion labels to set up shop. It is home to exhibition spaces of experimental works and the futuristic-looking Institute of Contemporary Art. Even if you don’t fancy spending hours in an art gallery, outdoor public art installations will certainly catch your attention.

Neighbourhood delights
Little Havana
Cubans began migrating to southern Florida in the 1950s. It was during the 60s though, when migrant numbers swelled, that the area gained the name Little Havana.
Centred around the Calle Ocho strip, this atmospheric neighbourhood is a lively reflection of the rich Cuban culture. There are plenty of cigar shops, music reverberates from radios everywhere, and a feast of famous culinary delights awaits. The Azucar Ice Cream Company, home to Cuban ice cream flavours, is a fan favourite.
The Latin infused bars here are among the best in Miami and the area’s live shows will have you dancing through the night. The Ball and Chain lounge is a famed establishment, having hosted jazz acts including Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.
Snapshots of Miami
Beaches
Miami’s tropical beaches are strikingly beautiful. You will find all sorts of beach personalities, and they all offer more than one way to soak up the sun.
South Beach is the most famous, with its white sand, flashy cars and Art Deco architecture. Try the North Beach, currently in the throws of redevelopment, for something less crowded.
Nightlife
After the sun sets and the city’s skyline lights up, Miami’s bravado is pumped up a few notches. Wild parties and an infectious Latin flair make the night unstoppable.
From happy hour hotspots, rooftop bars, live music venues and salsa clubs, there is something for every type of character.
Art Deco
Miami is a jewellery box of Art Deco architecture. The stylish architectural outpour put Miami on the map in the 30s, and it continues to attract the crowds.
Ocean Drive is densely lined with pastel-coloured, neon-lit 1930s hotels. Deco designed swimming pools, such as the one found at The Raleigh, have their own nostalgic charm.
