From world-famous street art to a vast choice of hotels and entertainment, there is something for everyone to like.

Best time to go
The best time to visit Miami depends solely on your plans and wishes. Many people are choosing spring because of the smaller crowds. Temperatures are not so high and you can enjoy outdoor events and activities. Also, there are many discounts offered by museums and restaurants during April and May. Beaches are a great option for summer but the weather is humid and the temperatures can be very high. In that case, remember to keep yourself hydrated and to limit sun exposure. Miami offers great content even in the fall. World-famous Miami Book Fair takes place every November for all book lovers. The weather is drier and temperatures are mild, which makes October and November usually the busiest months of the year. That also means higher prices and thicker crowds since tourists are coming from all over the world.

Things to do
If you only have a certain amount of time that you can spend in Miami, it would be a good idea to plan your activities in advance. There are many things to see and do, so opt according to your tendencies. Visiting South Beach and riding the waves is a must-do for the majority of tourists. You can also enjoy interesting and affordable Miami tours since there are numerous beautiful historical and cultural sites to be seen.

You could spend your time together visiting unique museums, getting familiar with the local architecture, or simply walking around the Zoo.

Getting around

There is also a local bus system that you can use for a couple of dollars. In case you prefer to explore by yourself, there is a bike-sharing program that may suit your needs. Just be careful since the city is not very bike-friendly. If you opt for a taxi, be aware that they are expensive so use them only if you run out of options. The same goes for rental cars since they are also expensive and traffic jams are common, so try not to waste your time and money if you do not have to.
