A City Break to Miami

Before you get completely sucked into Miami's beach lifestyle, opt for a spot of culture and take a day tour, immersing yourself into the real Miami. Your guide will meet you at the hotel and whisk you off the beaten track. First you will pay a visit to the green streets of Coconut Grove, the oldest inhabited part of Miami, from where you will continue on to Little Havana to see the Cuban influenced neighbourhood made famous by a certain Al Pacino as Scarface.

Stop for a break and refuel with a famous Cuban coffee or ice-cream. Finish off with a tour of the Art Deco district with the greatest collection of Deco buildings on the planet. The Museum of Contemporary Art and Institute of Contemporary Art are also both worth a visit, as are some of the smaller galleries located in the revitalised Wynwood district - we can advise you on the best ones to see.

After a day of culture-soaking, dedicate your next two days in Miami to what the city is best at - pure, unadulterated hedonism. Head to South Beach and hang out among the body beautifuls (and soak up some rays while you're at it) before hitting the city's iconic party scene. Lucky for you we have the inside track on all the best parties and hangouts. For a spot of shopping, check out Lincoln Road, Miami's famous boulevard and outdoor destination for hours of browsing in trendy boutiques and people watching as you relax in one of the restaurants. We will give you a dossier with all of our top recommendations while you are in the city.
