Vacation your way. Florida all day.Miami Travel Guide
Miami rewards wandering more than planning. The neighbourhoods are genuinely distinct, the food is the best in the state, and the beach is only part of the reason to come.
The neighbourhoods
South Beach for the Art Deco district, the beach and the nightlife. Brickell for downtown high-rise living and good food. Wynwood for murals, galleries and independent restaurants. Little Havana for Cuban food and coffee. Coral Gables for something quieter and greener. Key Biscayne for calm water, parks and beaches across the causeway.
Beaches worth the trip
South Beach is the famous one and the busiest. Crandon Park on Key Biscayne has calmer water and is better with young children. Bill Baggs at the southern tip of Key Biscayne has a lighthouse and far fewer people.
Eating in Miami
This is the reason a lot of people come back. Cuban in Little Havana, Haitian in Little Haiti, and an independent restaurant scene in Wynwood and the Design District that is as good as anywhere in the south. Book ahead at weekends.
Art and culture
Wynwood Walls is the obvious starting point. The Pérez Art Museum and the Frost Science Museum sit side by side downtown. The Design District is worth an afternoon even if you buy nothing.
Getting around
Parking is expensive and often difficult, and rideshare coverage is dense. For a beach-and-city trip you can usually manage without a car, which is not true anywhere else in Florida.
