Things to do on Holiday in Miami

When you’re walking the artistically arranged streets of Miami’s South Beach on Ocean Drive, make sure the beaches aren’t your only places of interest.

When it comes to culinary richness, Miami has it. Influenced by Caribbean and Latin American traditions, adding to current American cuisine, you’ll encounter a taste of ‘Floribbean’. This strangely named strand of food is a diverse mixture of the regions’ European and South American roots. With an emphasis on fish and spices, the use of fresh fruits and citrus, you’ll go crazy for the food in Miami.

Come and visit the Miami Science Museum and get a glimpse of how we understand the world around us. With the use of the museums’ planetarium and observatory, you’ll be stunned by the celestial arrangements to be learnt under the Florida sky.

The nightlife here is varied, with relaxing spots as well as more lively venues to visit. With your choice of little taverns, grand jazz bars, and fashionable clubs, your night out will be one to remember. You might even spot a celebrity taking a whistle-stop tour of the club scene!

For a slice of natural beauty check out the Fairchild Tropical Gardens in Coral Gables for a family friendly day out. With 83-acres of lush vegetation you’ll be roaming tropical ground between trips to the beach.

Weather in Miami

The climate in this region of North America is hot and humid in the summer, with warm winters and drier summers in comparison to other states. The weather here is influenced by both the benefit of being slightly above the Tropic of Cancer, and having a close proximity to the Gulf Stream. There’s also a Hurricane season in the area, which occurs from June to November.

Things to do

Little Havana

When in Miami, you shouldn’t miss paying a trip to the city’s vibrant Cuban heart just west of Downtown Miami - Little Havana. Here you’ll be able to explore the area’s Latin American flavour through local art galleries, speciality food shops, restaurants, cigar shops, live music venues and domino parks. 

Calle Ocho is the centre of the action in Little Havana. This famed strip is one of the most popular destinations for visitors to Miami, but the amazing atmosphere, plus irresistible culinary outposts and retail opportunities make this a favourite spot for locals, too.

 

 

Miami Beach

Miami Beach is an island city in South Florida, linked via bridge to mainland Miami. A mecca for recreation, leisure, and watersports, this beach stretches from North Shore Open Space Park to South Pointe Park and South Beach. From palm-lined esplanades, to surf spots, upscale shopping boutiques, and incredible architecture, this is the place to be.

Soak up the sun, try your hand at surfing, or simply watch the waves from the comfort of a beachfront restaurant or bar. For a spot of historical sightseeing, visit the Art Deco Historic District. There are plenty of pastel-coloured buildings to peruse - especially on Ocean Drive.
