Miami is an exciting,
vibrant city set within a lush, tropical landscape. This is a remarkable
contrast to its origins of a remote fishing village barely over a century
ago when the area was mostly mosquito-infested swamp. Today, Miami and
Miami Beach are top destinations for business and travelers. People flock
to Miami for business, sun, sand, beaches, and entertainment - this place
really rocks!

Also known as the American
Riviera, Miami Beach is ultra hip and fun. A popular hot-spot for movie
stars and fashion models, it offers wide sandy beaches, numerous restaurants
and exciting nightlife. Ocean Drive is one of the busiest parts of Miami
Beach. It runs parallel to the beach, from Street south to South Pointe
Drive. It is famous for its Art Deco architecture.

Miami has a strong Hispanic
flavor with many of its residents from Cuba, Haiti and various Caribbean
and Latin American countries. The result is an American city with great
ethnic and cultural diversity
Food and music, in
fact, showcase Miami's zest for all things sensual. Cool jazz, spirited
salsa rhythms, and a cuisine that unites fresh seafood, tropical fruits
and tongue-tingling peppers provide evidence of a people and a city mesmerized
by – and dedicated to – the spices of life. Give yourself over to its many
incarnations in Miami's most sizzling neighborhoods: Little Havana, SoBe
or the Design District. Each one boasts top-notch clubs and superlative
restaurants, energized by the buzz of a style-conscious clientele.
Such range and so much possibility
– for both spirit and appetite – ultimately impart to Miami a semblance
of meaning that it neither needs nor demands. The city's allure remains
independent of attempts to quantify it, and regardless of the effort, satisfaction
comes with just experiencing it. After all, when sympathetic climate and
abundant care give rise to a strong, vivid hybrid, it's not the parentage
that draws attention but simply the beauty of the flower

that is perhaps best appreciated
from above. And an aerial sightseeing tour is just the ticket for visitors
desiring to explore Miami and its environs in a way that most people don't...from
inside a helicopter or an airplane.
Miami Beach is also famous for
its Art Deco district - perhaps the largest collection of art deco architecture
in the world. This mile square district in the southern portion of Miami
Beach is known for its 1920-1940s era Art Deco architecture. Many beautiful
buildings are bathed in tropical pastel colors and decorated inside and
out with various Art Deco styles. |
