Top things to do in Miami
Planning your trip? Here are the highlights most worth your time in Miami.
South Beach Art Deco Historic District
The most concentrated collection of Art Deco architecture in the world — 800+ buildings along Ocean Drive, Collins Avenue, and Washington Avenue. Take a guided walk or self-guided tour starting at the Art Deco Welcome Center on Ocean Drive.
Wynwood Walls & Arts District
An outdoor museum of 50+ large-scale murals covering warehouse walls — initiated in 2009 and now one of America's great street art destinations. The surrounding Wynwood neighborhood has evolved into Miami's best restaurant and cocktail bar area.
Little Havana & Calle Ocho
Miami's Cuban heart — domino players at Domino Park, Versailles Restaurant (the city's iconic Cuban institution), cigar-rollers, and the Calle Ocho Festival in March. Authentic, vibrant, and completely unlike anything in the rest of the US.
Everglades National Park
The largest subtropical wilderness in North America is just 45 minutes from Miami. Airboat tours through sawgrass prairies, alligator spotting, and genuine wilderness — a world apart from Miami's urban energy.
Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM)
Overlooking Biscayne Bay, the PAMM is one of the best contemporary art museums in the US. Second Saturday evenings include free admission, live DJ sets, and the museum terrace bar — a Miami institution.
Key Biscayne & Crandon Park
Miami's best beach is not South Beach — locals go to Crandon Park on Key Biscayne (20 min from downtown). Calmer water, far fewer crowds, natural setting. Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park at the island's southern tip adds a historic lighthouse.
Travel tips for Miami
- Miami International Airport is 8 km from South Beach. The Miami Beach Airport Express bus (Route 150, ~$2.25) runs directly to South Beach and is far cheaper than a taxi ($30–$45).
- Rent a Citi Bike for getting around South Beach and the surrounding neighborhoods — the flat terrain makes cycling Miami's best transport option.
- Miami's Cuban coffee culture is real — a cafecito (espresso with demerara sugar) costs $1–1.50 at any ventanita (walk-up window) and will recalibrate your expectations of coffee.
- Spanish is widely spoken in Miami — in Little Havana and Hialeah, it's the dominant language. A few Spanish phrases go a long way.
- Nightlife in Miami doesn't start until midnight. Clubs don't hit capacity until 1–2am. Plan accordingly if that's your interest.
Local insider tip
Miami's best Cuban food is not at the tourist-facing Versailles on 8th — it's at La Carreta (open 24 hours, several locations), where Miami Cubans actually eat. The ropa vieja, picadillo, and arroz con leche are as good as it gets in the US.
