vibrant contemporary art scene, there’s more to discover in
this Floridian city. Anyone who loves dance, music and food
should salsa to Little Havana, with its old-school Cuban vibe.

museums, Wild West experiences and barbecue restaurants.Phoenix

love crowds. Instead, stroll quieter streets in the Lower East
