How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Vice City's airport, on a peninsula in the south-west of the mainland, where Ken Rosenberg picks Tommy up at the start of the game.
The real place
Miami International Airport (MIA) is about 9.7 km west-north-west of Downtown Miami. Escobar sits in a similar spot on the map and its logo copies MIA's, the terminal seems to borrow from the TWA Flight Center in New York, and the name nods to Pablo Escobar.
Visiting
This is a working airport that you pass through rather than visit. The Metrorail Orange Line links it with Downtown Miami.
