Planning a Miami trip
Miami rewards travelers who think in neighborhoods. Miami Beach, Downtown, Brickell, Wynwood, Little Havana and Coconut Grove each deliver a different trip, so where you stay can matter as much as what you book.
How to plan your days
Balance beach time with neighborhood time. Daytime heat can be substantial, so museums, galleries, shopping and long meals can be especially useful in the hottest part of the day.
Things to put on your radar
- Miami Beach and the Art Deco district
- Wynwood art and dining
- Little Havana culture and food
- Biscayne Bay and waterfront activities
- Museums, sports and nightlife
Getting around
Miami International Airport is the primary airport. Depending on where you stay, rail, local transit, rideshare and walking may reduce the need for a car; a vehicle can be helpful for broader South Florida day trips.
Weather planning
South Florida has warm temperatures year-round, with a wetter season and tropical weather risk. Monitor official forecasts closely during hurricane season and before water-based activities.
