Miami is the cruise capital of the world and is home to no less than 17 cruise ships; it also has the largest year-round cruise fleet in the world. Visitors to this vibrant city can discover the bustling Bayside harbour complex in Downtown Miami with its boat excursions; the distinctly Latin district of Little Havana, home to the city's huge Cuban population; South Beach, Miami's most-visited attraction, famed for its candy-coloured Art Deco buildings; and the legendary Ocean Drive boulevard, which is fringed by Miami's trendiest sidewalk boutiques, bars and restaurants.
Shopping
It is possible to buy almost anything in Miami. Particularly good areas to head for are: Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, with quality galleries, boutiques and department stores; the 6.4-hectare (16-acre) waterfront Bayside Marketplace in downtown Miami, which features an unusual mix of retail shops and local artisan stalls; and South Beach (most notably the Lincoln Road shopping district, nicknamed the 'Fifth Avenue of the South').
