If you walk and are from out of town, stay on Ocean Drive, Collins Avenue, and Lincoln Road primarily, and especially at night. The neighborhoods all through the South Beach area are fun to drive thru and look at the historic art deco buildings, but don't do this at night as a tourist.

Fun hotels, mostly noticeable on Ocean Drive, but once you know the Deco characteristics, you see the influence everywhere. There are great walks, good shopping and small fun restaurants. Very human scale as few buildings are over 3 storeys.

There is no denying that the old Art Deco architecture in this part of Miami Beach is great to see. There would be little need to pay to be shown as it is everywhere as you walk down the main Boulevarde . The area itself though is another matter. This would be great for young party goers and beach goers.... More

Our guide, Paul, assisted by guide-in-training, Chris, provided us the most comprehensive and passionate description of the Art Deco District, its evolution, its history and its current state. The evening tour was ideal, since the weather was more... More
