The amount of days you spend in Miami does not have to influence whether you indulge in the culture. Even for those visiting on short weekends, Miami has something for everyone.

MIAMI HAS
SOMETHING FOR
EVERYONE
It's no wonder that the beautiful city of
Miami sees more than 10 million visitors per
year.
The weather is sultry, the water is inviting,
and there's a lot to do. Miami offers a variety
of sports, unique flora and fauna, the
symphony and ballet, art shows, sexy
nightlife, and incredible food.
Even if one heads there on a short weekend,
there is something for everyone in Miami.

THE MAGIC CITY
The Magic City extends a warm
welcome to all, and its
multiculturalism has become more
abundant beyond the southernmost
tip of Miami Beach. These days,
Miami's rich fabric has unfurled
across the neighborhoods where
nightlife meets art galleries,
shopping galore, trendy restaurants
and more.
Little Haiti and Little
Havana now share the
urban spotlight with Little
Venezuela and Little
Moscow, and Miami is
booming across Biscayne
Bay.
4. THE ART SCENE
D R C O L I N K N I G H T . O R G
The city has developed quite the art
scene with notable museums to its
credit.
Two of their newest spots include the
Institute of Contemporary Art Miami
and the de la Cruz Collection.
Contemporary art is displayed at de la
Cruz and features works by Isa
Genzken, Christopher Wool and Felix
Gonzalez-Torres.

CONTEMPORARY
ART
The Institute of Contemporary Art promotes an energetic calendar
of exhibitions and programs of the most innovative contemporary
art available.

VACATION
DESTINATIONS
Another stop to make includes Miami
Beach's Stiltsville Fish Bar in the Sunset
Harbor neighborhood. It's a local
favorite offering a laid-back attitude
with quality seafood and Key West
inspired drinks.
The bar scene is a blast and can fit any
budget. If chic $20 cocktails are in mind,
the Delano Hotel's Rose Bar does it best,
but when a famous dive bar will only do,
Mac's Club Deuce is it.

HEADED TO
THE BEACH?
Long stretches of white sand await at Ocean
Drive from 5th to 15th Street.
It's recommended to nail a blanket spot by 10
AM before the crowd starts filling in.
For a more secluded seaside atmosphere,
one can head north. There is also a beautiful
boardwalk that extends up to 46th Street.
8. MISCELLANEOUS
DESTINATIONS
D R C O L I N K N I G H T . O R G
The Little Havana neighborhood caters to
good reads with two specialty bookstores,
Libreri Mapou, and Exile Books.
For exotic Greek/Turkish food and a
romantic nightcap, the backyard patio under
the stars at Mandolin Aegean Bistro is a
must-see.
