Things to Do in Miami

Miami pulls ~3 million visitors annually. This city fuses Latin American culture with American ambition, where art deco buildings frame endless beaches and nightlife starts when other cities sleep. You'll find Caribbean-style neighborhoods blocks from gleaming financial districts—somehow it all works. The city evolved beyond party destination status. Miami became a legitimate cultural hub, with excellent museums, a thriving food scene beyond Cuban sandwiches, and neighborhoods like Wynwood transformed from industrial zones into busy arts districts. The weather stays reliably warm. Beaches are genuinely beautiful, and an entrepreneurial spirit attracts people worldwide.

The food scene exploded recently. You'll find excellent Peruvian, Argentinian, and Haitian restaurants, plus innovative American spots helmed by celebrity chefs beyond the famous Cuban cuisine. South Beach caters to tourists. Wynwood and Little Havana offer more authentic, better-value options with excellent seafood and Latin spice.

Weather stays warm year-round. December through April offers comfortable temperatures and lowest humidity—also the most expensive and crowded period, but summer brings brutal heat, humidity, and hurricane season. Hotel prices drop significantly. Fall works as a sweet spot—warm enough for beaches, less crowded than peak season, and cheaper rates.
