Getting to Know Miami

Beyond the flashy tourist haunts of South Beach, Lincoln Road and Coconut Grove, Miami is a whirl of cultural flavours. For some, Miami is the banking and entertainment capital of Latin America, for others New York’s sixth borough. This sun-drenched city that dances to a tropical beat reveals itself in more secluded corners, like Little Havana’s Calle Ocho, where you can tuck into a traditional Cuban meal of Arroz con Pollo, or the arty-hip Design District, full of galleries and boutiques. But if you’re needing a bit of quiet, you’ll find it at the end of Key Biscayne, where you can loll on your own tropical island. For those interested in the arts, there is downtown’s exquisite Adrienne Arsht Center, home to the vibrant Miami City Ballet, headed by Edward Villela. For a taste of Miami predating today’s concrete and blacktop, head to the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s wondrous displays of subtropical flora.
