The Bal Harbour Shops are where all the elite stores such as Tiffany’s & Co. can be found, while the Bayside Marketplace on the waterfront makes a day of shopping feel like a holiday.

Famed for its vibrant nightlife and hot sultry nights, Miami has lots going on to offer new expat arrivals in the way of clubs, bars, trendy lounges and cocktail bars. Downtown Miami and Coconut Grove are popular hotspots where bars and nightclubs line the streets, while Greater Miami offers plenty of cabaret shows and performances.
