There's more to Miami than just its beautiful beaches!
Fun fact: many people don’t realise this, but Miami is actually a centre for the arts. Galleries and art exhibits such as the Dina Mitrani Gallery and the 6th Street Container have seen celebrities and art fanatics swarming the place just to get a look. If you’re looking for some art inspiration, head over to the Perez Art Museum of Miami on Biscayne Bay, considered to be one of the city’s newest art hot spots. Also, on the first week of December every year, thousands of collectors, dealers, artists, and guests arrive in the city for Miami Art Week, so be sure not to miss out on that!
Head over to the Art Deco District and marvel at the amazing architecture that’ll have you whipping out your camera to take a good photo in no time. Lincoln Road, on the other hand, is a shopping district where you can settle every little souvenir that you want. From book stores to cafes and clothing stores, you can easily get carried away over here!
If good times, great beaches, fabulous art, a lively night scene, and more sound like your cup of tea, book one of these great HomeAway and Vrbo accommodations and get yourself Miami bound!
