THE GREATER MIAMI & SOUTH FLORIDA AREA

Miami is synonymous with glittering South Beach, but there’s a great deal more for the area’s many visitors. Zoo Miami and the Miami Seaquarium provide fun for all ages, while beautiful Vizcaya, the picturesque Deering estate, combines history, lavish architecture and ideal location.

Lincoln Road is a shopping mecca for all things unexpected. The pedestrian mall is spectacular and as fun to shop as Wynwood, Miami’s popular art district.

Serious shoppers love Sawgrass Mills, the definitive outlet shopping facility. You’ll need a full day to explore its 2.3 million square feet of retail space and more than 300 shops, stores and eateries.

IN THE FORT LAUDERDALE AREA

Nearby Fort Lauderdale, one of South Florida’s most sophisticated cities, welcomes visitors to a world of beaches, gourmet restaurants and elegant shops.

Enjoy fabulous shopping on Las Olas Blvd., gondola rides on the city’s canals, and a panorama of unforgettable restaurants.

Explore the Museum of Discovery & Science and the Museum of Art with its noteworthy collection of Latin American artists. Explore the area’s flea markets and try your luck at one of Broward County’s race tracks and casinos.

WITHIN A DAY’S DRIVE

Not far from Miami, Florida turns natural. At one South Florida intersection, visitors can turn left to reach Biscayne National Park, where Biscayne Bay and its barrier islands are preserved and explored by snorkelers and Scuba divers alike. A right turn at the intersection takes visitors to the remarkable Everglades National Park, the one place on earth you can experience the unique “river of grass” that covers the southernmost portion of the state. Visitors who go straight through this intersection find themselves on the way to the amazing Overseas Highway that links the Florida Keys and connects Key West with the Florida mainland.

If you’re looking for theme park family-fun, Orlando is only a few hours away. Hop on the Florida Turnpike and escape to Disney World or Universal Studios for a day of excitement.
