It’s no surprise that people come from around the world to visit Miami, Florida.

But Miami is more than just sun and sand-there are lots of Miami attractions and things to do, including an exciting nightlife, stylish fashion scene, art galleries, exclusive shopping, Art Deco architecture, and more.

Miami’s population is nearly 65% Latin American, which greatly influences the culture in Miami, including Miami restaurants, entertainment and lifestyle. Sampling the many diverse restaurants in Miami is a great way to experience the culture. From the authentic Cuban restaurants in Little Havana to the new world cuisine called “Nuevo Latino” or “Floribean,” Miami restaurants offer such a vast choice that you’ll never be bored!

For the best in nightlife, you’ll want to visit South Beach, with its hundreds of nightclubs and oceanfront restaurants. Ocean Drive in South Beach is SoBe’s most photographed street-and where all the best Miami nightlife can be found. Don’t miss the historic district with its Art Deco architecture, located between 24th Street and First Street after you’re done sunning yourself on one of the most appealing beaches on the Atlantic Coast.

Downtown Miami, with its skyscrapered financial district and its street vendors selling brewed coffee and Carribbean-style pastries, is where you can find interesting and unique shops as well as the Miami-Dade Cultural Center.
