Miami OVERVIEW

Miami is known as the Magic City, and justifiably so. By day, it’s alive with activity, from the bustle of the Downtown business district to the sultry shores of Miami Beach. At nightfall, the vibe changes as everyone comes out to play, whether that means sipping champagne at a wine bar, dining al fresco, taking in a live show or dancing into the wee hours. Florida Spring Break 2013: Join our road trip across the stateWith a quick turn of mood, you can go from the sophisticated shopping district of Coral Gables to the bohemian coffeehouses of Coconut Grove to the lusty Latin quarter of Little Havana all in a half-hour’s drive, then cross the causeway to South Beach, switching from stilettos to sandals at a stoplight. There are many reasons to plan a Miami vacation. It’s a travel destination for those who love the beach, the arts, festivals, shopping, sports, sightseeing and culture.
