Miami - Express Yourself

Miami is the tropical North American city that's constantly reinventing itself. If you haven't seen Miami lately you're in for a surprise. Long regarded as the "Sun and Fun" capital of the world, Miami has stepped up to claim its rightful position as the world capital of arts & culture, fashion and food, and exciting things to do 24/7.

Miami's inspiration comes from a convergence of cultures. Lush tropical surroundings and exciting playgrounds for children and adults all cater to high-spirited visitors from around the world. The bright sun and multicultural inspiration keeps Miami's chefs creating new cuisines, Miami's musicians creating new sounds, and Miami's artists creating new ways of seeing the world. Come express yourself in the city where you can do things you couldn't - or wouldn't - do anywhere else.

Arts and Culture

The newest state-of-the-art performing arts centre in the Americas anchors the city's bustling downtown. And the new Frank Gehry - designed Symphony hall is right across the street from the renovated Miami Beach Convention Center. The New World Symphony projects its concerts and classic movies in the Miami Beach Soundscape - the world's only interactive park. And of course, the largest Art Fair in the world - Art Basel Miami - takes place right here in Miami.

Accommodations

South Beach is still the home of one of the world's largest collection of beautifully restored, historically relevant Art Deco, Art Nouveau and cutting-edge boutique hotels. Miami is chock-full of new hotels, too. The world famous Fontainebleau just completed a stem-to-stern, one billion-dollar rehab and joins new hotels including the Epic Hotel, Mondrian, and the first and only JW Marriott Marquis in the entire world that opened in the heart of downtown Miami this fall. Miami boasts a trio of Ritz-Carltons, including the highest grossing hotel in the chain on beautiful Key Biscayne.

Activities

When it's time for sports and recreation, there's more to do in Miami than most anywhere else. The area hosts teams for all four major league sports (the Dolphins, the Marlins, the Heat and the Panthers) NASCA R's Homestead Motor Speedway, Sony Ericsson Open on Key Biscayne, Cadillac Championship at Doral, plus more golf courses, tennis courts and swimming pools than anyone could visit.

Watersports abound, with concessionaires for waterskiing, kayaking, windsurfing, SCUBA diving, kite surfing and jet skiing available most anywhere you can splash into the Atlantic Ocean or Biscayne Bay. And Miami-Dade County is the only county in the U.S. to feature two national parks - the Biscayne National Preserve and Everglades National Park.

Families
