More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto Lincoln Road as the double-decker breathes heat and salt into the morning air. The open-top bus climbs past Art Deco hotels, Wynwood murals that push color into the sky, and Little Havana where the smell of cafecito draws you toward small sidewalks and domino tables. Later, the bus slips toward the water; Biscayne Bay opens wide, the skyline tilts on the horizon, and a 90-minute cruise carries you past celebrity homes and the Port of Miami.
