Miami Beach’s Lincoln Road is one of the most unique shopping districts in the U.S., full of stunning architecture, world-class culture and destination retail stores. The 8-block-long pedestrian mall was designed by fabled art deco architect Morris Lapidus, filling the broad street with sculptures and native plants to give it a more intimate feel. Shops and restaurants line both sides of the street, where you can pick up a new outfit at H&M, Zara or Forever 21 – or shop for something a little more upscale at Ted Baker, Lulu, Scotch & Soda or Intermix.

Lincoln Road also boasts a wide range of restaurants. If you’re looking for a stunning rooftop view, check out Juvia and Mila. An ideal spot for a date is Isabella’s, with romantic lighting and delicious seafood. Or you can sample a little bit of everything at the Lincoln Eatery, a food hall with everything from ceviche to pizza and a stunning rooftop bar. You’ll find a fantastic selection of local independent makers at Showfields, and colorful artwork by Romero Britto as his namesake gallery. You can also take in a show from Miami New Drama at the art deco Colony Theatre.

Sundays welcome a weekly farmer’s market, where you can stroll Lincoln Road enjoying fresh smoothies and sampling a wide variety of local vendors. On Sundays from October through May you can search for rare finds at the Lincoln Road Antiques & Collectibles Market.
