Lowest Priced Flights to Miami on Alaska Airlines starting at $111*

Known as “Magic City,” Miami lives up to its moniker with sparkling beaches, a tropical climate, delicious cuisine and a thriving art scene. Miami Beach, especially South Beach, offers the quintessential Miami experience of sunbathing and splashing in the waves. If you’re feeling a bit of déjà vu, it’s probably because the shore has been used as a backdrop for nearly every movie or TV show ever filmed in Miami. While you’re in the area, visit the Art Deco Historic District noted for its concentration of over 800 Art Deco buildings within one square mile. To inspire your inner artist, head to Wynwood Walls, an outdoor gallery of work by graffiti artists and muralists spread across several warehouses and shop exteriors. The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) is another must-see, both for its striking metallic exterior and the works it houses, many by local and emerging artists. The whole family will love the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, a sprawling complex with an aquarium, planetarium and two fascinating science galleries. As for what and where to eat, Miami offers everything from casual street food to haute cuisine. To get a true taste of the city, head to the Little Havana neighborhood for authentic Cuban fare.
