Miami is located at the extreme southern end of Florida. It is North America´s sixth largest city and the ultimate sunshine resort. This fantastic holiday destination is famous for its warm tropical weather, perfect sandy white beaches and vibrant nightlife.

Miami is a melting pot of cultures and nationalities and this is reflected throughout the city. Miami is split up into several districts, each one as distinct and diverse as the next. Sample the famous Art Deco architecture of South Beach or take a stroll down Coconut Grove which is renowned for its status as the celebrities favourite hangout. There is also the vibrant and colourful Little Havana which is home to the city´s Latina population. Miami is a city that never switches off as locals and tourists alike make the most of the balmy tropical evenings. Whether you want to sip cocktails at a trendy wine bar, listen to a jazz band in the jazz clubs, or dance the night away in one of the many hip nightclubs, you will be spoilt for choice.

What used to be a relatively sleepy beach vacation destination has awakened from its humid slumber, upped its tempo, and finally earned its place in the Palm Pilots of cutting-edge jet-setters worldwide.

Miami has an endless number of sporting, cultural, and recreational activities to keep you entertained. Our sparkling beaches are beyond compare. Plus, there's excellent shopping and nightlife activities that include ballet, theater, and opera (as well as all the celebrity-saturated hotels, restaurants, bars, and clubs that have helped to make Miami so famous). Leave Miami, be it for the Keys, the Gold Coast, or the Treasure Coast, and you'll expose yourself not only to more UV rays, but to a world of cultural, historical, and sybaritic surprises where you can take in a spring baseball game, walk in the footsteps of Hemingway, get up close and personal with the area's sea life, soak up the serenity of unspoiled landscapes, catch the filming of CSI: Miami or a big-budget Hollywood flick, and much more.
