Considered by many to be the most vibrant, dynamic and sexy city in the country, Miami is more popular than ever. Yet this is a city that doesn't just change, but evolves, never rewriting the past, but simply adding to its illustrious heritage. And therein lies Miami's true beauty. The chic Surf Club and vibrant Faena Hotel haven't replaced the iconic Raleigh of the '40s or the Ritz Carlton of the '50s; rather, they complement them. Classics like Joe's Stone Crab continue to serve their signature Dish to packed crowds every night, while new establishments are attracting celebrity chefs. The iconic art deco architecture remains on full display, while the Perez Museum of Modern Art, designed by Herzog & de Meuron, offers a striking contrast. Art and culture are present year-round, from the international art of The Bass to the street art of Wynwood Walls. Every December, the city is invaded by the world's cultural elite for Art Basel Miami Beach, a fair that attracts over 80,000 visitors who come to admire works of art of major importance, such as Maurizio Cattelan's show "Comedian", and the exuberant festivities organized every evening.
Well known for its nightlife, fun is a central part of life in Miami at all times. Yachts and pleasure boats line its marinas, lively beaches offer front-row seats for a parade of tanned revelers, and bladers and cyclists line its seaside promenades. Miami has become the hub of all that is chic, flamboyant and colorful. Miami Beach takes readers on a tour of this bold and wonderful metropolis.
