Visiting the real Florida behind GTA 6

If GTA 6 makes you want to see the real thing, the inspirations are genuine destinations. Miami brings the Art Deco of South Beach, Cuban food in Little Havana and the nightlife Vice City channels. The Everglades offer airboat tours and real alligators, the same wetlands behind Grass Rivers. The Florida Keys deliver the island drive down the Overseas Highway that the Leonida Keys echo. Treat the game as inspiration, not a travel map.
