Miami: places to go and things to do
Treat Miami Beach, Wynwood, downtown Miami, and Little Havana as separate clusters. Choose the neighborhood that matches your interests, then combine nearby stops instead of spending the day crossing the causeways.
Getting around Miami
Miami Beach and mainland Miami are separated by causeways. Account for traffic, parking, and transfers when combining them. Walking is most useful inside a neighborhood, rather than between every attraction.
Plan for the weather
Plan outdoor stops for the cooler part of the day and keep an indoor museum backup for thunderstorms. Bring water and sun protection; check the forecast before a garden or waterfront outing.
