Know before you go

Best time to visit

The dry season, from November to April, offers agreeable temperatures and low humidity, making it perfect for exploring. Avoid the peak hurricane season from June to November if possible, though prices are generally lower then.

Getting from the airport

Miami International Airport (MIA) is well-connected. Take the MIA Mover to the Metrorail station, then use ride-sharing apps or taxis for shorter journeys. The Miami-Dade Transit system is affordable but can be slow.

Where to eat

For authentic Cuban fare, head to Versailles Restaurant in Little Havana, famed for its Cuban sandwiches and cafecito. For a sophisticated meal, Mandolin Aegean Bistro in the Design District serves wonderful Mediterranean dishes in a charming garden setting.

A money-saving tip

Utilise Miami Beach's free trolley service, which covers most of the South Beach area and extends north. It’s an excellent way to get around without incurring taxi or ride-share costs, especially when exploring different sections of the beach.

A local secret

For a truly unique and relaxing experience, visit The Standard Spa, Miami Beach's Lido Bayside Grill during sunset. The views over Biscayne Bay are spectacular, and their happy hour offers great value for drinks and light bites in a chic setting.
