Miami, Florida is a vibrant, energetic city, alive with a Latin beat any
day of the year, particularly when the suns sets. Winter tends to be the
busiest
time of year when people from the north come to experience the beautiful
beaches, swaying palm trees and warm ocean breezes. However, at any time
of year, the city is alive with tourists from throughout the world. When
summer arrives there is an influx of visitors from both South America as
well as Europe, making this truly an international destination. Spring
and fall tend to be less crowded and are wonderful for enjoying all the
city has to offer with a few less people. With temperatures during this
time hovering in the 80’s F during the day, and the 70’s at
night, visitors can work on the perfect tan during the day, and then enjoy
a splendid meal while dancing the night away. Whatever the reason for visiting
and whatever the time of year, Miami has the season for it.
Miami is easily accessible via Interstate 95 from the north (Fort Lauderdale), Interstate 75 from the west (Fort Myers), the Florida Turnpike from the northwest (Orlando), and U.S. Highway 1 from the south (Key West). For travelling distance from different major cities in US and Canada, Click Here.
