Step back into the 1930s as you wander through Miami Beach’s famous Art Deco District, a living museum of pastel-hued buildings with porthole windows, chrome accents, and sleek geometric designs. Home to the largest collection of Art Deco architecture in the world—over 800 buildings—the district feels like a time capsule of Miami’s glamorous golden age. Thanks to passionate restoration efforts, these architectural gems continue to shine. Stroll along Ocean Drive, grab a coffee at a retro café or join a guided walking tour to dive deeper into the stories behind this iconic neighborhood.

This impressive arts center hosts an opera house, a concert hall, a theatre, and an outdoor plaza that combined present a constant flow of world-class shows and performances. While top Broadway musicals, concerts, and ballets already promise the best art performances, complimentary tours of the center also offer great experiences.
