Book a low–cost, last–minute flight to Miami and you can spend your days soaking up the sunshine on miles of sandy beaches. Stroll around and take in some lively salsa music with a pre-dinner drink in the early evening. Then head for one of many fashionable clubs or restaurants until late at night.
In addition to the sun, sea, sangria and a lively vibe, it’s the aesthetics of the city that make it so appealing. There are three main architectural styles in Miami. Perhaps the sleek geometric designs of the art deco period are most strongly associated with the city. The buildings are sometimes painted in pastel colours to enhance the beautiful symmetry of the architecture. Good examples can be seen in the Flamingo Park and Washington Avenue areas.
But you may also see Mediterranean Revival buildings on your last–minute trip to Miami. Features of this whimsical, historical style include clay tiles and painted stucco walls. Fans of modernist architecture will appreciate the MiMo (Miami Modernism) of the North Beach district with space–like imagery and quirky cut–outs.
Whether architecture or another interest, you can use Opodo to create a bespoke trip that meets your travel needs.
