Build the rest of the day around the neighborhood

Miami works best when a visit is not reduced to one stop. Use the surrounding neighborhood, waterfront, public spaces and nearby cultural places to turn the main destination into a fuller local experience.

Before you go

Hours, admission policies, reservations, parking and event schedules can change. Check the destination’s official information before making a time-sensitive plan.
