Friday, 2 September 2011 10:42 AM

Visiting Miami? Ever wonder how to get into the hottest clubs for free? Where can the most beautiful, customised Guayaberas are found? Want to take a food tour through the city's historic neighbourhoods?

Would you like to discover Miami from a different perspective while pumping your adrenaline? Have you ever tasted avocado wine? Which gems are must-sees for art lovers?

The ‘My Miami à la Carte’ map is a great way to get to know Miami or to discover new side of this fascinating city.

The idea for A la Carte Maps emerged during a one year trip around the world as two Swish backpackers became frustrated with thick guidebooks as well as unhandy city maps.

With the ‘My Miami à la Carte’ map visitors have a local friend, who has written an array of the city’s best kept insider tips on a beautiful and handy 70x42cm hand-drawn map.

All maps are made of high-quality material and are additionally matt-laminated which makes them moisture-resistant and durable.

All the maps are designed by talented young artists trying to capture the spirit of the city making each map unique in its appearance.
