Miami is one of America’s most exciting new cities with major museums, performance spaces and events such as Art Basel Miami, the premier contemporary art fair in America.

Miami is a city located on the Atlantic coast in southeastern Florida and the county seat of Miami-Dade County. The 42nd largest city proper in the United States, with a population of 408,568, it is the principal, central, and most populous city of the Miami metropolitan area, and the most populous metropolis in the Southeastern United States.
The most important places to visit in Miami are: Ocean Drive (the yearlong party atmosphere makes Ocean Drive the most exhilarating place in the United States), Art Deco Architecture (nowhere else in the world would you find such a concentration of colorful Art Deco style buildings), Vizcaya Museum and Gardens (a national historical landmark. It is a European style villa surrounded by lush gardens), Everglades (a unique natural environment. Get close and personal with alligators. Airboat rides are highly recommended), Beaches (some of the country’s best beaches are here, and clearly the most fashionable) and many more.

Fashionable new areas have sprung up a short hop from Miami Beach, including the Design District (the best area for boutiques and restaurants) and Wynwood (the fast-developing art gallery district). Several of the hippest new Miami Beach hotels are located north of 20th Street towards 40th Street, near the Fontainebleau Hotel. The downside of any location north of 25th, however, is that you can’t easily walk to the main shops and restaurants.
