here beauty is the name of the game from
fashion models to art deco hotels beach
sunrises to wetland ecosystems south
florida is a masterpiece
south florida is a land of dreams and
miami is known as the magic city
full of natural beauty and truly
unconventional no-name islands plus
indulgence taken to roman empire levels
stay here long enough and you might
believe that magic is real
[Music]
[Applause]
in miami art deco isn't just distinctive
it's definitive pairing modernity with
nostalgia streamlining with
embellishment subdued colors and riots
of pastel you'd be hard-pressed to find
a better concentration of the
architecture anywhere
it doesn't get more primeval than
alligators designed by nature to be
perfect leathery predators you can spot
dozens of gators from boardwalks in the
everglades national park
crossing the overseas highways many
bridges and pulling over to admire the
gulf of mexico or florida bay are some
of the great pleasures of florida
traveling if you don't feel like driving
you can cycle much of the 127-mile route
miami is a fun good-looking city and the
best way to grasp this is to head out on
the town find laid back bars mega clubs
on miami beach and dives where the
clientele is friendly and down to earth
[Music]
although south beach is stupendous you
can escape the crowds by heading to
places such as haulover beach park which
is pretty enough to serve as your
screensaver
[Music]
january to march is dry sunny and
practically perfect look well in advance
to beat the festival going crowds
[Music]
travel costs in miami can range from
less than 120 a day if you choose
hostile dorms and self-catering to over
250 a day for upscale restaurants and
big nightclubs
most travelers rent cars and you should
expect to pay charges for the region's
many toll roads bus systems are reliable
but can be time consuming
south florida is an american original
with an emphasis on beauty style and
color that comes in a million shades
throw in some sunny islands and
breathtaking wetland wilderness along
with a fascinating mix of anglo-american
latin american and caribbean culture and
the result is a dream destination
