A cosmopolitan metropolis bursting with attractions, water sports, nightlife, and shopping. There are miles of dazzling beaches, museums, parks, and exciting restaurants abound. Miami port has more cruise activity than anywhere else in the world! It’s over 220 miles to Orlando from here, so not out of the question if you want to include Disney too (the flight is about an hour) but there’s plenty to do down here in Miami Beach, a bit of celebrity spotting to start the evening, perhaps, before disappearing into the wonderful world of Miami’s eclectic nightlife. There are even things to do in the day too.
