Don’t skimp on seafood during your stay in Miami. From stone crabs to ceviche or fried snapper, fresh, delicious options appear on almost every menu. Stop by Little Havana for Cuban food—a Ropa Vieja and a mojito is a must—or lean into the city’s Spanish influence and order Chicharrón or opt for Puerto Rican Mofongo.

Traveling to Miami with your family, check out the Zoo and the Children’s Museum, and see alligators at nearby Everglades National Park. Art options range from contemporary to classic museums and galleries, and for retail therapy, shop Bayside Marketplace and the Design District.

Known for its sparkling nightlife and lively beaches, Miami is a hot destination year-round. Relax on the sand, book an afternoon on a yacht, or reserve a tee time to unwind. Explore the street art and shopping scene, or enjoy the air conditioning of a museum when you need a break from the sun. Catch a basketball game and root for the Miami Heat while you’re in town.

The simplest and most popular way to navigate Miami is by car. Rentals are available at the airport and throughout the city. Visitors can also use rideshare apps and taxis to get to destinations day and night. Check to see if your hotel is near Metrorail, Metromover, or Metrobus for reliable and sustainable ways to check out the stadiums and other major destinations.
