About Miami — why count down to it.
Miami is Florida's — and arguably America's — most glamorous city. A Miami countdown builds anticipation for a destination that delivers on every front: world-famous beaches, a vibrant Cuban-American food scene, internationally renowned Art Basel, stunning Art Deco architecture, and a nightlife scene that's among the world's best.
South Beach (SoBe) is the iconic heart of Miami tourism — the 1920s and 30s Art Deco buildings in pastel pinks and teals, the wide white beach packed with beautiful people, the Lincoln Road pedestrian mall, and the neon-lit Ocean Drive strip. But Miami's other neighborhoods are equally compelling: Little Havana's Calle Ocho for Cuban coffee and dominoes; Wynwood's converted warehouse district full of street murals and galleries; Brickell's gleaming skyline for fine dining.
Day trips:
Day trips: Everglades National Park (45 minutes south) — airboat tours, alligators, and extraordinary bird life. Key West is a 4-hour drive down the iconic Overseas Highway.
Best time to visit:
Best time to visit: November through April — Miami's dry season with perfect weather. Summer brings humidity, rain, and hurricane risk, but also the lowest hotel prices.
