Getting around

Getting around Miami is a doddle, whether you’re hopping on the Metrorail, the Metromover (a free, air-conditioned sky train!), or using the trolley system to zip between neighbourhoods. Hiring a car is also a great shout if you’re planning on exploring a bit beyond the city, especially if you fancy a road trip to the Florida Keys or up the coast. Uber and Lyft are everywhere, so you’ll never be stranded. Miami International Airport (MIA) is close by, with easy connections to most areas, making your arrival and departure a breeze.

Things to do for families in Miami

Miami is more than just a beach destination; it's also a whopper of a place for families. Miami Zoo is a proper good day out, with over 3,000 animals roaming cage-free enclosures—it's a step up from your typical zoo experience. Then there’s the Miami Children’s Museum, which has loads of interactive exhibits for the kiddos, keeping them entertained and learning at the same time. For a more splash-tastic time, take the family to Venetian Pool, a historic swimming pool that’s perfect for cooling off in style. And of course, the many family-friendly beaches, like Crandon Park Beach, offer calm waters and picnic areas, so the whole fam can kick back and enjoy a day by the sea.

Things to do for couples in Miami

Miami’s got the romance factor dialled up to a 10/10. Start with a sunset boat cruise around Biscayne Bay to see the city skyline light up while the sun dips below the horizon—it’s pure magic. For something a bit more boujee, take your partner to The Standard Spa for a top-tier couple’s spa day. You’ll leave feeling proper pampered and relaxed. Art-loving couples can wander through the Perez Art Museum, taking in the modern art and lush views of the bay. And if you're feeling fancy, hit up South Beach at night for a candlelit dinner at one of the swanky oceanfront restaurants—nothing says romance like good food, wine, and sea breezes.

Things to do for groups in Miami

Whether you’re hitting Miami for a jolly with your mates or a big celebration, there’s plenty to keep the squad entertained. Wynwood Walls is an edgy outdoor street art museum that's perfect for a chilled day out with some banging photo ops. For the nightlife crew, Miami’s club scene is absolutely popping off. E11EVEN and LIV are two of the most iconic clubs where you can dance the night away in proper Miami style. During the day, you can rent a party boat and take your group out to Nixon Sandbar, where locals and tourists park up their boats, blast tunes, and enjoy the sunshine. And, if your crew loves sports, catch a Miami Heat basketball game or head to LoanDepot Park for a Miami Marlins baseball match—it’s a proper good laugh, even if you're not a sports buff.

Things to do for foodies in Miami

Calling all foodies—Miami is an absolute paradise for your tastebuds. Start in Little Havana, where you can munch on authentic Cuban food, like a banging Cuban sandwich from Versailles, an iconic local spot. For seafood lovers, a visit to Joe’s Stone Crab is a must—it’s been serving up delish seafood since 1913, and their stone crab claws are next-level. Fancy a top-tier brunch? Hit up The Bazaar by José Andrés, where modern Latin cuisine gets a playful twist (and yes, it’s as boujee as it sounds). If street food is more your vibe, explore the Miami Food Trucks scene, where you’ll find everything from tacos to gourmet burgers. And don't forget a Fanta Lemon to wash it all down—a proper refreshing finish to your Miami foodie adventure!
