The Atlantic breeze rides in off Biscayne Bay, warm and salt-edged, as the open-air trolley rumbles to life. Palms flick their fronds like a metronome while an 80s soundtrack sets an easy cadence. From your seat—no glass between you and the city—Miami doesn’t just pass by; it leans in. Neon marquees on Ocean Drive wink, the pastel lines of Art Deco hotels stack like ship decks, and the bay glitters as if daring the skyline to keep up. Two hours later, you’ll have traced a highlight reel of Miami’s design, food, and folklore with a side of sun on your cheeks.

History
Miami Beach’s Art Deco boom followed the 1926 hurricane, rebuilding with pastel hues and nautical lines. Downtown’s Freedom Tower later served Cuban refugees, earning its nickname as the “Ellis Island of the South.”
Conservation
Carry out all trash and skip confetti or glitter that can blow into Biscayne Bay. Respect murals by looking, not touching, and support local businesses that invest in neighborhood care.
