Traveling in the USA. Miami, summer all year round - iO Donna Magazine.

The residents we've had, the latest ones are the most amazing: Americans themselves choose Miami to live here,' says Karin Kepplinger of Icc Events (Incentive travel & Corporate events). There are plenty of opportunities for different lifestyles, and everyone finds their own - from a healthy lifestyle for health enthusiasts who run the boardwalk at six in the morning, work out, lift weights on the beach and mostly follow a vegan diet, to the nightlife of nightpunchers and clabbers, where everything is tolerated from trash to ultra-fashion. Thanks to the revitalization of previously neglected neighborhoods and a revival of art and architecture, Florida's trendiest city has taken a firm foothold in the international art scene with Art Basel, the area's most important event (8-11''lane (21st to 46th streets). Nudists congregate at Holover Beach (108th Street and Collins) north of Bal Harbour, and Virginia Key on Key Biscayne is a secret spot to get away from the eyes.

The seductive Ocean Drive, an asphalt strip stretching along the beach where hotels and trendy establishments are located, is a symbol of Miami.

With cool stilettos or brightly colored flip-flops in the right place, Nikki Beach (nikkibeach.com) is sophisticated and refined. Villa Casa Casuarina (vmmiamibeach.com), former home of Gianni Versace, is now a boutique hotel and restaurant that's only open to hotel guests.

Art Deco in a tropical setting

A view of Ocean Drive, a famous street in South Beach, the southern part of Miami Beach, facing the Atlantic Ocean. This is the historic core of Art Deco,''built between 1920 and 1940: horizontal and vertical lines, rounded corners, friezes and floral ornaments, eccentric decorations highlighted by neon lights, a tropical incarnation of style. To visit the area, it's interesting to take a tour of about two hours, here you can learn about the history of the most impressive and significant buildings and the styles of Art Deco, Mediterranean Revival and MiMo (Miami Modern), departing each day from the Art Deco Welcome Center at 1001 Ocean Drive (cost is $35, mdpl.org). At the end of the tour, it's worth stopping by Cheeseburger baby (cheeseburgerbaby.net) for the best beef burger with young, fresh beef.

One of the city's most creative neighborhoods is the Miami Design District (miamidesigndistrict.net), a true shrine to contemporary art.

Za''For several years, warehouses and old factories have been renovated into designer ateliers and showrooms. And behind them, stylists from all over the world have opened elegant boutiques here. From design to street art, getting to Wynwood with its colorful graffiti of various sizes, there are vintage stores like Walt Grace Vintage (waltgracevintage.com), something of a Porsche, Cinquecento and vintage Ferrari car dealership, an acoustic and electric guitar store and some beautiful T-shirts.

In Miami, you can find many different cities in one.

Just head to Calle Ocho (SW 8th Street), not far from the glass and concrete skyscrapers on Brickell Street, and you'll enter Little Havana, one of the ethnic neighborhoods, home to many Latinos. The language, customs and culture of Latin America are here.''There are no museums or monuments in Little Havana, but there is plenty of color. Walking around Maximo Gomez Park, you'll see crowds of elderly people playing dominoes, discussing the problems of their home island in Spanglish, a mixture of Spanish and English, while young people party in the bars and clubs where, especially on Fridays, the trendiest Caribbean music is played. For a good mojito and lots of salsa, you should head to Ball & Chain (ballandchainmiami.com). Among Calle Ocho's many art galleries, Agustin Gainza Arts (agustingainza.com) stands out. The new Museo Pérez Art (pamm.org) features nearly three thousand works of contemporary art. The museum is located across from the arena of the Miami Heat, the local basketball team. For an immersive experience into the colorful world of Haitian immigrants, you can''vintage furniture.
