Miami is the United States' gateway to Latin America, and you hear it from the airport onwards: Spanish is more common than English across much of the city. Beyond the beaches it is a collection of sharply distinct neighbourhoods — the Art Deco of South Beach, the murals of Wynwood, the finance towers of Brickell, the Cuban coffee counters of Little Havana. It is also the world's busiest cruise port and the natural base for the Everglades and the Keys.
The central city holds Downtown, the towers of Brickell, Little Havana and Wynwood. PortMiami and most of the cultural life are here, while the beach sits across the bay.
A separate municipality on a barrier island linked by several causeways. South Beach, its Art Deco district and Ocean Drive are all here — this is the Miami most people picture.
45 minutes north, known for its navigable canals and its own international airport (FLL), often cheaper to fly into than MIA.
At the end of the Overseas Highway, a 3.5-hour drive across 42 bridges. The southernmost point of the continental United States, with a Caribbean feel and Hemingway's house.
3.5 hours by road or 3 hours on the Brightline train, the theme park capital: Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld.
More than 800 Art Deco buildings from the 1920s-40s line Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue — the largest concentration anywhere in the world. The pastel façades switch to neon after dark.
A former warehouse district turned open-air street art museum since 2009. Dozens of large-scale murals, regularly repainted, surrounded by galleries and craft breweries.
An hour west, 6,000 km² of subtropical wetland: alligators, manatees and more than 350 bird species. Shark Valley and its 24 km loop trail are the best introduction.
The heart of Cuban exile since 1959. Dominoes at Máximo Gómez Park, cigars rolled by hand, and a cafecito taken standing at a ventanita window counter.
A Venetian-inspired villa completed in 1916 on Biscayne Bay, with ten hectares of Italianate gardens. The most complete historical counterpoint to contemporary Miami.
Tropical monsoon climate: warm year-round, with a distinct dry winter season and a humid summer marked by short, violent daily downpours.
November to April: 20-27°C, low humidity, almost no rain. It is also high season, with prices to match.
June to November is hurricane season, peaking from August to October. July and August combine heat, humidity and daily thunderstorms.
The best window, and the most expensive. Dry air, sea at 22°C. Book far ahead around the holidays and Art Basel in early December.
Still pleasant, with spring break saturating South Beach in March. Humidity climbs noticeably by May.
Hot and very humid, with late-afternoon thunderstorms almost daily. Hotel rates at their lowest and sea at 30°C.
September and October are the peak of hurricane season. November swings to ideal conditions and stays uncrowded.
Miami's visitor areas — South Beach, Brickell, Wynwood by day, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove — are safe and busy. As in any large American city, safety varies sharply between neighbourhoods, sometimes from one street to the next.
Avoid Overtown, Liberty City and Opa-locka, particularly at night. Wynwood is lively by day but its outer streets empty once the galleries close. On the beach, never leave belongings unattended.
Activate your ZapSim eSIM before you fly — connected the moment you land at Miami International, so you can call a ride without hunting for wifi.
Get my eSIMMiami International (MIA): the MIA Mover links the terminals to the intermodal station free of charge, where the Metrorail reaches Downtown in 15 min (2.25 USD). Uber or Lyft to South Beach: 25-40 USD in 25 min. Fort Lauderdale (FLL) is 45 min north and often cheaper to fly into.
The Metromover is free and covers Downtown and Brickell. The Metrorail serves a single corridor, insufficient for most itineraries. Miami Beach is reachable only by bus, so most visitors alternate between Uber and a rental car. The Brightline train reaches Fort Lauderdale in 30 min and Orlando in 3.5 hours.
Renting a car only makes sense for the Everglades, the Keys or Orlando. In South Beach parking runs 4 USD an hour and hotels charge 40-60 USD a night: rent only on the day you head out of town.
💡 Miami is one of the most expensive American cities in high season. Two costs catch people out: the 30-50 USD nightly resort fee added after booking, and the automatic 18-20% service charge in many restaurants. Listed prices never include the 7% sales tax.
