Miami

It used to be called 'God's Waiting Room' because of the many octogenarians eking out their last moments by the pool. Today the old folks mingle with fashion designers, bikini models and Cuban émigrés, and the city that once had the highest murder rate in the US attracts millions of tourists.

Miami Transport

Coming and Going

Miami has two airports, Miami International Airport (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport (FLL). MIA is closer to town and has more connections; it's one of the busiest airports in the US. If you're coming in by land, you'll find plenty of Amtrak and Greyhound options, or you could drive there (preferably through the awesome Florida panhandle).

Getting About

Miami's double-decker trains are marvelously clean and quite cheap; the metrorail line through downtown Miami connects with the commuter system Tr-Rail, which runs to Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.

Metro-Dade Transit's buses cover a healthy amount of the city: the Omni Metromover and Government Center terminals in downtown Miami are the main bus depots.
