World’s 50 Greatest Places: FL City Makes Time Magazine List For 2022

MIAMI, FL — Miami is among the 50 global destinations included on Time magazine’s “World’s Greatest Places of 2022” list.

It’s also one of only five U.S. cities to make the list of “extraordinary destinations to explore.” The others are Park City, Utah; Detroit, Michigan; San Francisco, California; and Portland, Oregon.

International cities and areas on the list include the Galapagos Islands, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the Arctic, Nairobi and Seoul, South Korea.

When compiling its list, Time solicited suggestions from its correspondents and contributors. The final 50 spots were chosen “with an eye toward those offering new and exciting experiences.”

“Miami is emerging as the U.S.’s capital of cool,” the magazine wrote about Miami. “The inaugural Miami Grand Prix in May drew a spectacular cross section of VIPs and celebrities to witness Formula One stateside, making the city feel, according to ESPN, like ‘the center of the sporting universe.’”

Time also referenced the Underline, the city’s new outdoor park on the Riverfront, which will open in phases over the next several years, and “the avalanche of hotel openings” in the area, including Moxy Miami South Beach, AC Hotel by Marriott, Element by Westin in Brickell, Gabriel South Beach, Uma House and Esmé.
