About the destination: Miami is a major city in the south-eastern United States and forms part of the largest metropolitan area in Florida. Miami has a lot to offer, from beaches and fantastic weather to endless nights of the best party scene in the world. Miami remains one of the world's most fashionable and flashy hot spots, with stunning beaches, an impressive Art Deco District and world-class shopping and dining. Near the city of Miami are the Everglades National Park and the Florida Keys. Miami Beach is not just a place for social and sunny entertainment, it's also a cultural hub showcasing the history and heritage of the region. The Art Deco District in Miami Beach contains the largest concentration of 1920s and 1930s resort architecture in the world. These brightly coloured houses are a showcase of style and trendiness. Miami is so many things. All glamorous, in every sense of the word. The city is considered a multicultural mosaic, which makes Miami one of the most unique and interesting cities in America.

About the destination: Orlando, situated in Orange County, Florida, has a lot to offer tourists, but it's fair to say that the main reason people visit Orlando is for the variety of amusement parks: Disney World, Universal Orlando, Sea World, and several other big draw entertainment places. However, Orlando has so much more. Beautiful tree-lined neighbourhoods, a vibrant performing-arts scene and various excellent gardens, nature reserves and museums around the city offer visitors entertaining alternatives to the theme park experience. If the outdoors is your thing, you can swim or canoe at Wekiwa Springs State Park or one of the area's many other sparkling springs. If museums are your thing, there are many and varied options such as the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art with its huge collection of Tiffany glass, or the Orlando Science Center, with hundreds of interactive exhibits for visitors of all ages. The city has a very 'young at heart' attitude, and it is a melting pot of different cultures. For nightlife, there is pretty much anything you want. The downtown area has several bars and clubs for any crowd. In a nutshell, Orlando is truly a very cool town.
