The bus eases away from Bayside Marketplace and the city blooms: neon signs pulse along Ocean Drive, the Art Deco facades take on cinematic relief, and Biscayne Bay reflects a ribbon of skyscraper lights that seem to dare you to stay up later. The open-top double-decker turns Miami’s after-dark energy into a moving lookout, where warm air skims past and the guide strings history into the glow.
