When it comes to shopping, Aventura is the place to be. 

I know I say this often with most of the Miami neighborhoods I feature, but what can I say? 

This city is really a paradise for retail fans, no exaggeration whatsoever!

But, Aventura's shopping scene hits different, to be quite honest. 

Everyone who's been here will agree that the community is SYNONYMOUS with shopping! 

It may even be the word "shopping" itself (ok, that was a bit much), but when you see its wide array of malls, shopping centers, and outlets, you're bound to nod your head in agreement!

Anchoring Aventura's retail scene is, of course, Aventura Mall, the largest mall in Florida and the second largest in the country! 

The shopping center is jam-packed with retail stores, eateries, and entertainment options. 

Most of its stores are high-end, with internationally known brands like Burberry, Louis Vuitton, and Nordstrom. 

For those without seven-figure bank accounts, there are more affordable options as well.

You'll also see several shopping spots around the whole area as you go along, so you'll find retail therapy an inevitable activity in Aventura.

Ah, yes, the infamous Miami tourist activity-- exploring. 

It can't be helped, I tell you! 

These Miami neighborhoods are too interesting NOT to be explored, all their uncountable nooks and crannies. Especially an area like Aventura.

Aside from its proximity to most of Miami's notable spots and sunny beaches, Aventura is also considered a hotspot for unbeatable activities and adventures (no surprise here!), not only on the Intracoastal Waterway but in the city itself and to both Miami just to the South and Fort Lauderdale just to the north. 

Admittedly, going around Aventura in a car may not be the most ideal due to heavy traffic (although tons of parking spaces are made available in select areas around the city). 

However, the neighborhood offers Miami-Dade Transit's Metrobus and Broward County Transit bus systems, so exploring the community and the nearby areas should be a breeze. 

You've also got The Aventura Express shuttle bus, a free city-run public bus service for Aventura residents!

Indeed, exploring made easy at Aventura!

It's got lush green parks, abundant golf courses, high-traffic marinas, several sports leagues, and is a few minutes away from beaches, so peeps who enjoy the outdoors will have a blast in this neighborhood! 

Not to mention, the city boasts significant tourist spots where visitors can engage in exciting activities, such as Gulfstream Park, where everyone can watch thoroughbred horse racing, party in nightclubs, play in the casino, or indulge in a game of bowling!

And if you're looking for intense family fun, Aventura also offers you The Tidal Cove Waterpark, the best place in the area for exciting water adventures! 

Located at JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa, the waterpark is the ideal attraction for families for its monstrous 60-foot (18-meter) tower boasting seven slippery water slides, an exciting gravity-defying raft ride, and a heart-stopping freefall loop.
