Essentials in Miami

For resorts, Miami Beach is the only place to be. While many think this island in Biscayne Bay is part of Miami, it's not. Because of it's length, it's divided up into three: North Beach, South Beach and Mid Beach. The long sought-after beaches make this destination one of the most desirable in the world when it comes to resorts, cuisine, nightlife, culture, and beyond. Take in a game, dance the night away or just relax on the beach right outside your hotel door.

Everglades National Park: The best attraction in Miami isn't even located within city limits! This huge national park, most of which is underwater, is a tropical paradise. There are a number of endangered species among the park's protected wildlife including leopards and crocodiles. Some parts of the park have only ever been visited by adventure-seekers and researchers!

Miami Zoo: If the park wasn't enough, then visit one of the most famous zoos on the planet. The animal enclosures are large and mimic the animals' natural habitats. Some of the species here are very rare and are living in true peace and quiet. Without a doubt the role-model for zoos around the world.

South Beach: Miami's seaside neighbourhood is jam-packed with art galleries, cosy hotels, night-clubs and bars. It's a hot spot on the weekend and Americans come from all over the country to enjoy it.

Science Museum: Science is best discovered through hands-on interaction and this academic museum is all about playing around and learning by doing. The exhibitions are suitable for all-ages, but especially kids.

Bass Museum of Art: This is the best place in the city to get your art fix. The gallery façade is totally something out of the future, surprisingly designed in the 1930s. The collection covers everything from 16th century European and Renaissance paintings to totally modern. The building is also closely connected to the Miami City Ballet and the Miami Beach Regional Library (two words: free wi-fi).

Accommodations in Miami

Prices for hotels in Miami change as quickly as the fashions of the season. During the low season, summer, you can pay as much as 50% less than the city's winter rates. Also, if you're looking for a deal, try searching between Easter and Memorial Day (last Monday of May). The same holds true with cheap cheap Miami airline tickets. The best place to stay is close to one of the quieter beaches to the north along Ocean Drive, Collins Avenue or Washington Avenue between 10th and 15th streets. The cheapest rooms of course have no balcony and no view but if you don't mind, it's a bargain. Also, remember hotel prices are up for negotiation and the prices change quickly, don't be afraid to ask for a better deal if you find something comparable elsewhere.
