Miami at a glance
Most trips run 3 to 4 days. This page covers the 4 stops worth anchoring a plan around, 3 neighborhoods to base yourself in, and what the timing looks like across the year — then you can turn any of it into a mapped Miami itinerary you can edit and share.
- How long
- 3–4 days
- When to go
- November to April is dry and warm, and March brings spring-break crowds to South Beach. Summer is hot and wet, with hurricane season running June through November.
- Getting around
- Rideshare is the practical default; South Beach parking is scarce and expensive. The free Metromover loops downtown and Brickell. A car helps only for the Everglades or the Keys.

Calle Ocho for ventanita coffee, Domino Park, and the best-value meal in the city.
