A trip to Miami is fun all year round, but its tropical climate is even more appealing once the first few snowflakes start falling here in Boston.

1) Visit Miami: Wynwood Walls

The famous Wynwood Walls are the epicenter of the thriving Wynwood neighborhood, which only about ten years ago was still an industrial no-man’s land that was dangerous to visit. The curators seek out inventive street artists to install murals, swapping them out on a rotational basis. This mural is by Kenny Scharf.

3) South Beach Lifeguard Huts

The pastel lifeguard shelters on South Beach are an iconic sight and if you have the chance, take a long walk on the beach when you visit Miami to check then out and to snap a few pictures. We visited in between a storm so it was a little breezy when we took these photos, but it was still well-worth it! Pro tip, if you don’t like walking long distances on beach sand, I personally don’t, walk as much as you can on the board walk and then just pop out onto the beach when you get close to one of the structures.

4) Brunch at Swan
