Anyone from overseas planning on attending Art Basel this year might want to check South Beach USA’s Art Basel Miami Beach 2008 Guide for some interesting insider information, not only on A/B itself, but to familarize yourself with South Beach proper and how best to get around the area.
In addition to a day-by-day guide to all Art Basel events, their guide also gives you tips on transportation, top restaurants close to the Miami Beach Convention Center, and info on the Miami Beach nightlife scene. They have an excellent map of the South Beach Local Shuttle Bus route which can be a lifesaver. Their guide is well worth the read.
