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.
