The upper-deck provides an excellent platform as you pass the classic Art Deco buildings and drive along the famous Ocean Drive and South Beach. With over 13 stops along the way, you will be able to hop-off to enjoy your favorite past time whether it be shopping along the pedestrian only street of Lincoln Road, catching some sun on one of the most famous beaches in the world, or perhaps enjoying a margarita from one of many local establishments along Ocean Drive.
City Loop – Travel through the high-rise business district of downtown Miami and along Biscayne Bay with stops at Vizcaya Museum and the Science Museum before making your way to Coconut Grove. Once known as a Bohemian village and home to a number of popular festivals, the Grove was a haven for artists, writers and radicals, and still retains its zany charm and energy.
