Miami

Miami has so many different facets to its diverse neighborhoods that it’s hard to believe it all fits in one place. By day you can admire incredible photorealistic murals in Wynwood, then spend the evening immersed in Afro Cuban jazz in Little Havana, followed perhaps by rooftop drinks atop the city’s latest skyscraper. Crossing town you can’t help feeling like you’ve passed into another city. Over in Miami Beach, you can endlessly wander around amid deco masterpieces, each one bursting with personality – best followed by late-afternoon strolls along the sands, when the golden light is mesmerizing.

Miami in Four Days

On your third day, go to Little Havana and watch the locals slap dominoes at Máximo Gómez Park. Then go to Wynwood to peruse galleries and dine like royalty at Alter or Kyu. On day four, witness the full opulent fantasy of Miami at sites such as the Vizcaya Museum and the Biltmore Hotel.
