Miami is a singular city. This year-round playground is packed with excitement, a global metropolis where countless cultures convene along the sparkling sands of South Florida. The city is dense, boasting well-defined neighborhoods that sport individualized specialties — from finance to food, arts to entertainment, big-city bustle to genteel quietude. Most of Miami rests along Biscayne Bay, a pool of unrelenting blue dotted with natural and manmade islands. Boats of every size and shape — but leaning toward the larger end of the scale — ply the waters while the shores are lined with grand hotels, luxury high-rise apartments, historic structures, and legendary beaches. The Gulf Stream brings warm water and cool breezes, giving Miami its beloved tropical, well-tempered climate that puts the city on everyone’s radar and keeps it there.
