Florida, United States
Miami / South Beach
Miami is the American city that most feels like it doesn't belong in America. The food is legitimately one of the best in the country — Cuban, Haitian, Colombian, Peruvian, and everything in between. South Beach has the Art Deco architecture, the famous beach, and the nightlife. Wynwood has the street art and the restaurants. Brickell is where the money lives. Little Havana is where the city's soul still is.

South Beach (SoBe) · Wynwood · Brickell · Little Havana · Coconut Grove · Design District · Midtown
Fly into Miami International (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale (FLL, 30 min north, often cheaper). Uber and Lyft are reliable and essential — parking in Miami is brutal and expensive. The Metromover is free downtown. A car is not needed for South Beach but useful for Little Havana and Coconut Grove.
