Get immersed in the eclectic art deco architecture and vibe of the city on the world-renowned Ocean Drive. This strip is a playground for the rich and famous and dishes out sun, sand, and incredible seafood fare. Take a dicey roller coaster ride at the Thriller Speedboat, sip on a daiquiri at Mango's Tropical Cafe and people watch with a stunning view of the beach.
Continue your sensory journey roaming the fabulous shoreline of South Beach. Find serenity, grab some sun loungers and unwind with a beachside cocoa loco cocktail at the Nikki Beach Club. Then, be transported to the Caribbean without leaving Miami through the colorful murals and authentic food at Puerto Sagua.
Dive into the heart of the city with a visit to Bayside. Bayside Market Place is the perfect mix of boutique shopping and waterfront dining. Cruise the waters of Miami by catamaran, hunt for trinkets, grab a bite at the Venezuelan Areperia or sing the night away with Karaoke at Clevelander.
Miami has a public bus transit system that runs from 6am to 11pm, with connections to Miami Beach. The most efficient way to travel for visiting different neighborhoods is ride-shares, taxis and car rentals. The average cost of an Uber or Lyft ride from Ocean Drive to Bayside roughly starts at $10 and costs $40 for a whole day of exploring.
With more time, consider a visit to the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, the Perez Art Museum or exploring the iconic homes on Star Island.
With less time, prioritize South Beach and Ocean Drive with a beach day and enjoy some of the live music and performance art that permeates the area.
