Destination guide
Miami: Art Deco beaches and the gateway to Latin America
Miami combines South Beach, Cuban culture in Little Havana and the Wynwood arts district with the country's busiest gateway to Latin America. Fort Lauderdale, 30 miles north, is the low-cost airline hub and often cheaper to fly into.
Best time to visit: December–April is dry and warm, with peak prices around Art Basel (early December) and spring break (March). May and October–November are the sweet spot for value; June–September is hot, humid and hurricane season.
