Miami Shopping

In the city where everyone dresses to impress, you know the shopping has to measure up. Miami offers stores for the high spenders, the bargain hunters, and of course, the window shoppers, too.

Perfect Outdoor Shopping
Lincoln Road Mall is a 10 block outdoor mall (seven of which are blocked off to vehicle traffic) that used to be called the Fifth Avenue of the South. This stretch of outdoor shops, restaurants, and bars features well known clothing boutiques. You’ll find the likes of Banana Republic, BCBG MaxAzria, Pottery Barn and Macy’s. You may choose to stay for dinner at one of the area’s eateries, or see what’s happening at Lincoln Theater, home of the New World Symphony.

Where the Big Spenders Play
Looking to drop some cash on a killer outfit for that South Beach party? The Bal Harbour Shops should be your first stop, where the garden scenery and window displays will compete for your attention. Walking among this two story outdoor center, you’ll be among some of the most exclusive fashion collections in the world. Browse among the merchandise in Cartier, Jimmy Choo, Roberto Cavalli, Valentino, Yves Saint Lauren, and more. And for those of you without the deep pockets…it can’t hurt to look, can it?

Bargain Finds
Not all the stores at Sawgrass Mills Mall fit the “bargain” profile (check out the enormous Ron Jon Surf Shop and the Polo Outlet), but with over 350 stores to choose from, this largest mall in the state of Florida is sure to have something the thrifty spenders are looking for. Choose from Target, Marshall’s and T.J. Maxx, to the factory outlet stores operated by Burberry and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Tip: This mall, with its enormous layout, is located 45 minutes outside Miami. You’ll need a rental car or taxi to find it!
