Miami moves to a tropical beat, all pastel neon and Spanish accents. South Beach and its Art Deco district line Ocean Drive with hundreds of sorbet-colored facades, steps from the sand and turquoise water. Across Biscayne Bay, the mainland holds Downtown's towers, the hip mural-covered Wynwood district and the chic Design District. Little Havana, around Calle Ocho, is the city's Cuban heart, full of strong coffee, cigars and dominoes. Coconut Grove and Coral Gables add a leafy, residential touch. Latin American and Caribbean culture flavors everything, from music to food. This is a city where you go from beach to contemporary art museum with no transition, under a dazzling light.
In “Scarface” (1983), Tony Montana hunts his enemies along Ocean Drive, among the Art Deco hotels of Miami Beach.
In 1979, thanks to Barbara Capitman's fight, Miami Beach became the first 20th-century urban district on the National Register.
Versailles, in Little Havana since 1971: its ventanita, a Cuban-coffee window, was the city's first and still draws a crowd.
High season runs December to April, dry and pleasant; summer is hot, very humid and stormy, with hurricane risk from June to November. A car eases getting around, but South Beach is best on foot or by bike, and the free Metromover serves Downtown. Tip: guard against the intense sun and stay hydrated, even off the beach. As for connectivity, 4G/5G mobile coverage is excellent across the metro area and on the beaches, and free wifi is widespread in hotels, cafes and malls.
