How Many Days Do You Need in Miami, Florida?
I visited Miami, Florida, for the first time last year and certainly not the last.
I spent three days in Miami, and sadly, that wasn’t long enough to experience everything this fantastic city offers. Instead, I recommend first-time visitors stay between five and seven days.
Of course, you can spend less than five days in Miami. I did. But it meant I had to make some compromises. I spent less time at the beach or by the pool and more time exploring the city.
I stayed at the beautiful Loews Miami Beach. This hotel was incredible, and I’m still sad I couldn’t spend more time there—it was fantastic!
Instead, some of the things I did do during my three nights in Miami included:
- Little Havana
- Art Deco Historic District
- South Beach
- Espanola Way
- Ocean Drive
- Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
- Wynwood Walls
- Miami Children’s Museum (I visited Miami with my 18-month-old son)
If I’d have had an extra one to two days in Miami, I’d have spent a full day on South Beach. I’d have also not tried to do so much in a day and gone at a slower pace. Especially running on jetlag, having flown from the UK.
