Overall

I love to travel, and have quite extensively. I do not usually like going to the same places more than once, but Miami is one of the few cities I love going back to. I do not care too much for the rest of Florida- the state in general is quite boring. Miami is the only place in Florida, and one of few in the United States that offers something unique. The best thing about Miami is that it offers the best of both worlds. There is really no where else where you can have a resort experience and a cosmopolitan setting of high fashion, great restaurants, and culture. Miami truly combines these elements on South Beach- and it is truly amazing. Experiencing anything Cuban is quite a rarity in the States, and Miami's Cuban influence is definitely strong- especially in the music and food. The cultural is extremely enjoyable. The Cuban legacy and the preserved American Art Deco architecture creates a strong sense of history, while the fashion industry creates a strong sense of vibrancy for the city in the present. Miami is perfect for style-conscious, cosmopolitan people who love urban settings, but need a relaxing vacation. I highly recommend for domestic and international travelers. Miami may not be appropriate for traditional families, or those who are intimidated by fashion and prices.
