Mixing Latin flavor with European culture, Miami offers unrivaled nightlife and shopping as well as an arts scene as hot as its beaches.

 

Before hitting the beach, grab breakfast at News Café, an iconic sidewalk café located in the Art Deco District serving breakfast 24 hours a day. The popular spot offers outdoor seating and items like egg dishes from about $8 and French toast from $7.75.

 

Spend the morning catching rays at any of the area’s several beaches or at your hotel pool. Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly spot or a party beach lined with cafes, there’s a stretch of sand for everyone.

For dinner, head to Miami’s must-try Cuban restaurant, Versailles, in the heart of Little Havana. The restaurant offers a taste of Cuba with dinner samplers featuring yellow rice, black beans, shredded beef in tomato sauce, fried pork, ham croquette and sweet plantains starting from $12.95.

 

Cap the night off with some Latin flavor at live music venues like Hoy Como Ayer in Little Havana or the indoor/outdoor space known as the Stage in the Design District.
