But if you know how to do Miami right (and maybe if you speak a little Spanish), it’s one of the best damn vacation destinations in the country. That’s not to say it’s a perfect city-after all, local politics are corrupt, the traffic truly sucks, and those shockingly sweet frozen drinks on South Beach are a total rip-off. At the same time, one of the most appealing things about Magic City is that it’s culturally much closer to Latin America than it is to any city in the U.S. like New York City, it’s got sun-kissed beaches rivaling those of Los Angeles, and it gets down with diversity like Houston. In many ways, Miami combines the best traits of America’s big metropolises.
