Miami holiday guide

With its famous white sand beaches, iconic architecture, vibrant nightlife and much, much more, Miami will leave you spoilt for choice when it comes to things to see and do. That’s why we’ve compiled this Miami holidays guide to help you plan your Miami holiday itinerary.

 

Hanging out on the beach

Miami Beach is 12 miles of stunning white sand beach with sunbathing and tanning opportunities galore. It’s all worth exploring, but South Beach is its most famous stretch.

South Beach is a place to see and be seen. It’s where you’ll discover the city’s most exciting nightlife, the hippest galleries and the coolest eateries. But it’s also home to the iconic Art Deco architecture that defines Miami in the minds of most.

Explore the city

The excitement of Miami is just waiting to be discovered. Be awed by high-rise Downtown, stroll through leafy Coral Gables and dance the night away in Little Havana. And don’t miss the laid back luxury of Coconut Grove with its bohemian past and upmarket malls and cafés.

Shopping

For the intrepid shopper, Miami has just about every kind of shop you’d like. For upscale clothes, jewellery and accessories, there are exclusive designer boutiques in all the neighbourhoods. If you’re looking for great deals, head to The Dolphin Mall or Prime Outlets, where the low prices are too hard to resist.

But because of its year-round gorgeous weather, the real Miami shopping experience is found along its many outdoor shopping promenades.
