About Miami

Art Deco neon, Cuban coffee, South Beach sunsets and yacht-filled Biscayne Bay

Miami is America's most tropical city — a place where a genuinely warm, subtropical climate, a diverse Latin American culture and a flair for the spectacular combine to create a city unlike any other in the United States. South Beach's Art Deco Historic District is the most photographed streetscape in Florida: candy-coloured buildings from the 1930s and 40s, perfectly restored and buzzing with street life. The Wynwood Walls have turned a former warehouse district into the most concentrated collection of street art murals in the world. Little Havana offers an authentic window into Cuban-American culture. And Biscayne Bay, with its clear water and mangrove islands, provides excellent sailing, paddleboarding and dolphin watching within the city limits.

When to go: November to April is ideal — warm, dry and free of hurricane risk. June to September is hot and humid with afternoon thunderstorms.
