Miami City Breaks

For a sunshine break with tropical beaches, great entertainment and a sultry Latin American atmosphere, look no further than a Miami short break. The city is huge and covers a massive area of South Florida coastline and for visiting purposes can be easily divided into the vast downtown area and the barrier reef across the Biscayne Bay known simply as Miami Beach. The focus of a Miami weekend break is usually centred on Miami Beach and the attractions, activities and facilities here ensure most people rarely head into downtown. Nights in Miami are hip, trendy and happening with a wonderfully lively Latino club scene, beach parties and bohemian bars aplenty.

A stroll down famous Ocean Drive in Miami Beach is a must and highlights iconic Art Deco architecture where every beachfront hotel is a vivid work of art. The beach itself is long and wide, stretching well beyond the city limits. There is a long boardwalk filled with masses of rollerbladers and joggers while the golden sands are equally jam packed with sun worshippers and games of soccer and beach volleyball. Cheap city breaks in Miami can get active with a wide choice of water sports, deep sea fishing trips or even hot air balloon rides over the Atlantic. 

For all the sophistication and style that characterizes Miami Beach, the real heart of the city lies downtown in Little Havana. This is one of the most colourful ethnic districts in the USA, and offers an authentic slice of Latino life through its architecture, art, music, shopping, cuisine and animated nightlife. Miami family city breaks are well catered for with a tremendous variety of fun attractions. There is the Miami MetroZoo and Seaquarium for starters, followed by the Jungle Island wildlife inspired theme park or kayaking, biking and hiking at Oleta River State Park. For a real one of a kind adventure, spend a day in the steamy swamps of the Everglades, easily accessible from central Miami.
