Miami City Guide

Flag for United States on Apple iOS 9.3
I have been to Miami a couple times, once with my family and the second time with my best friend for Art Basel. As you can imagine, the two trips were totally different and I am happy to say Miami catered for both types of travel equally well. There are endless activities in Miami, whether you want to visit galleries and museums, do some shopping or simply enjoy the beach and sample some delicious food.

SEE


Thriller Boat Ride

Bayside is a very touristy area, with shops, bars and restaurants. I guess you could liken it to New York’s Times Square or Leicester Square in London. Not places I would normally visit, but it is the starting point for the Thriller Boat Ride, which is worth braving hordes of tourists for.
