Miami Things to Do

While Miami has much to offer visitors, sometimes you just need a change of scenery. Luckily, there are many worthwhile destinations accessible from Miami. To help you plan the perfect day trip, here are some suggestions.

Just in case Miami doesn’t give you enough of a beach-fix—and you have time on your trip to travel around nearby—Fort Lauderdale is only a half-hour drive up the coast (on I-95). Often referred to as “the Venice of America,” this 23-mile (37-km) stretch of beach has more than enough vacation to go around. And fortunately for future visitors, the ‘spring break’ vibe is not nearly as extreme as it used to be.

Packard, an auto company which lasted from 1899 to 1958, is often a symbol of the classic era of cars from Detroit; the quality vehicles and elite owners painted the brand as a luxury one, especially since the automobiles often came with the trademark (and quite fancy) Coat of Arms.
