Why should I take a one-day Miami trip from Orlando?

As a tourist visiting Orlando, there are so many reasons you should make a one-day Miami trip and here are some of our top reasons!

1. Sightseeing: Miami has many iconic landmarks and attractions such as the famous art deco architecture, the vibrant and colorful Wynwood Walls and the historic Vizcaya Museum and Gardens.
2. Shopping: Miami is home to many luxury shopping destinations such as the Aventura Mall, Bal Harbour Shops, and the Design District.  But our personal favorite shopping area is the Bayside Marketplace Mall. Although this mall is filled with tourist souvenirs, it’s the location on the waterfront in Downtown Miami that makes it perfect to visit.  You get to see the boats depart, grab some lunch, buy some souvenirs and soak in some of the Miami atmosphere in this open-air waterfront mall, which is located next to Bayfront Park, near the American Airlines arena where the Miami Heat Basketball Team play.
3. Food: Miami is famous for its diverse and delicious cuisine, ranging from Cuban sandwiches and empanadas to fresh seafood and farm-to-table restaurants.  On South Beach there are many different food options for you to try including Mangos Tropical Café which promises food and a show!
4. Culture: Miami is a melting pot of cultures and home to many museums, theaters, and art galleries, such as the Perez Art Museum Miami and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.
5. Beaches: Miami has some of the most beautiful beaches in the country, including South Beach, which is known for its turquoise waters, white sand, and vibrant nightlife.
