Neighbourhoods

South Beach

Art Deco, beach access, the most tourist-facing part of the city.

Beach

Wynwood

Street art and a genuinely good food-and-bar scene.

Art

Little Havana

Cuban culture and food, best experienced slowly, not rushed through.

Things to do

South Beach, before 9am

The only way to see the Art Deco district's colors without a crowd in every photo.

relaxMorning

Wynwood Walls

Constantly rotating street art — pair it with lunch at one of the surrounding food halls.

cultureAfternoon

Little Havana, a weekday afternoon

Domino Park and a cafecito at a walk-up window — slower and more real than a Saturday-night version.

cultureAfternoon
Food & drink

Eating & drinking

Any Cuban ventanita (walk-up coffee window)

Order a cafecito, drink it standing, the way locals actually do.

Excursions

Day trips

Everglades National Park — under an hour, worth a guided airboat tour.
Key West — a 3.5-hour drive, better as an overnight than a day trip.
Getting around

Local logistics

City-specific transport and safety notes — for country-wide context, see the United States guide.

A car or rideshare is close to essential — Miami's neighborhoods are spread out and transit is limited.

Generally safe in the areas visitors spend time in; standard nightlife-district caution in South Beach late at night.

For national rail, driving, and SIM card info, see the United States country guide.

Pacing & budget

Pacing: 3 days covers the city; the Everglades or Key West extend it well if you have more time.

Budget: Runs above the US mid-range average, especially in South Beach hotels.

Country guide

Visa, money, culture & transport for all of United States

Currency, key phrases, getting around by train, and everything that applies to your whole trip — not just Miami.
