Before you go: Miami tips

Transportation

  • Use Metrorail and Metromover: Metrorail links the airport to downtown, and the free Metromover loops through downtown and Brickell.
  • Ride the free trolleys: Miami and Miami Beach run free trolley routes covering many neighbourhoods.
  • Rent a car for day trips: Trips to the Everglades or Florida Keys are easiest by car.

Security

  • Watch belongings on the beach: Do not leave bags unattended on South Beach.
  • Stay hurricane-aware: Hurricane season runs June to November; follow local alerts.
  • Mind rip currents: Swim near lifeguard stands and follow flag warnings.

Saving

  • Eat Cuban food in Little Havana: Cuban sandwiches and cafecito from ventanitas are cheap and tasty.
  • Visit free attractions: Wynwood Walls area streets, beaches and Lummus Park are free to enjoy.
  • Avoid Ocean Drive tourist traps: Restaurants on Ocean Drive can be pricey; check prices and added service charges.

Weather/Clothing

  • Expect hot summers: Summers are hot, humid and stormy; wear light clothing and carry an umbrella.
  • Enjoy mild winters: Winter is warm and dry, the peak season for visitors.
  • Pack sun protection: Strong sun year-round means hats, sunglasses and sunscreen are essential.

Cultural

  • Learn some Spanish: Spanish is widely spoken; a few phrases help.
  • Visit Little Havana: Calle Ocho is the heart of Cuban culture with music and cigar shops.
  • Tip properly: Tipping around 18 to 20 percent is standard in restaurants, but check bills for included gratuity.

Local Hacks

  • Visit Wynwood early: Walls are less crowded in the morning for photos.
  • Head to Key Biscayne: Quieter beaches and parks like Bill Baggs are a short drive from downtown.
  • See the Art Deco district: Walk Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue to admire the historic buildings.
