Miami is a tropical beach city in southern Florida that charmingly blends American and Latin American cultures. The South Beach district is famous for its pastel Art Deco buildings beside white sands and turquoise water. It's full of nightlife, street art and Cuban food, both a vacation destination and the gateway to the Florida Keys.
