The Vice City Arrival

About

The Vice City Sign lit from below, palm trees catching the last light, a jet descending overhead with the whole city still ahead of it — this is the moment Vice City makes its first impression. Position yourself at the sign as the light drops and watch the airport approach traffic pass directly overhead. The sign looks enormous in photographs. In person it reframes everything that comes after it. Start here. Every Vice City trip begins with this.

Best Time to Visit

Dusk — the sign lights up as the sky turns purple

Travel Tips

• •Position yourself low and shoot upward — the scale of the sign only registers from ground level
• •Airport approach traffic passes directly overhead every few minutes — time your visit around it
• •The sign looks completely different after dark when the uplighting takes over — stay for both
