Miami
Art deco, Cuban coffee, and ocean drive
What it actually costs
When to go
Hurricane season peak. Also: 35°C + 90% humidity + afternoon thunderstorms every single day.
Wynwood Walls: free to walk. Go weekday mornings for photos without crowds. Saturday nights are a party scene.
What locals know
Cuban coffee (colada) from a ventanita (walk-up window) in Little Havana is $1-2 for espresso that will keep you awake for 8 hours.
Skip South Beach restaurants. Walk to Sunset Harbour or Española Way for better food at 40% less.
Key Biscayne (20 min drive) has better beaches than South Beach — calmer, cleaner, less scene-y.
Wynwood → Design District → Little Haiti in one afternoon is the cultural trajectory of Miami. End at a Haitian restaurant.
Honest warnings
Parking in South Beach is $20-30+. Use the free trolley or ride-share.
Cover charges at clubs: $20-50 is normal. Table service minimums: $500-2000. Miami nightlife is pay-to-play.
Hurricane season (June-November): check forecasts, have flexible plans, get travel insurance.
