What to Do During a Weekend in Miami

Miami is one of the world’s most iconic vacation destinations thanks to its tropical climate, relaxed ambience and, pristine beaches. Even better, a Miami vacation is almost like a trip around the globe thanks to its residents from over 120 countries and the 70 different languages spoken here. Find out what to do on a weekend in Miami to take full advantage of this melting pot city.

South Beach

It’s almost impossible to plan a Miami trip without considering a visit to its iconic South Beach. Considered one of the best beaches in the U.S., South Beach (known as SoBe by the locals) is filled with beautiful people, Art Deco architecture, and flashy cars.

You can sunbathe on the white sand beaches while rollerbladers glide around the beachfront parks. Or, if you’re feeling active, surfing, jet skiing, and parasailing are also on the agenda.

To feel the vibe of Miami, hang out in the section that runs parallel to Ocean Drive. If you’re keen to appreciate the beauty of South Beach with fewer people, head to the quieter patches around SoFi.

Little Havana

The heart of Miami’s Cuban diaspora, Little Havana is a must-visit on your Miami vacation. Whether you’re up for some authentic cuisine, people-watching in Domino Park, or an evening of rum cocktails and salsa dancing, Little Havana has a lot to offer.

Head to Calle Ocho, the neighborhood’s vibrant thoroughfare that’s lined with restaurants, art galleries, cigar shops, bakeries, and music venues. You’ll also find many colorful murals and artworks including walls covered with large portraits of Cuban legends.

Miami Helicopter Tours

If you’re looking for unique things to do, you can’t go past the chance to see Miami from a whole new perspective – above it all. Breeze Helicopters helps you soak in the exhilaration of flight and savor every view in style.

In one spin, you’ll be able to see the shores of Golden Beach, the high-rises of North Beach, the Grandeur of the Venetian Islands, all the action of South Beach, and even take a peek at the home of the Miami Dolphins.

Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science

When the heat starts getting to you, it’s time to head indoors for a visit to this groundbreaking museum. From exhibits showcasing the best of the world underwater all the way to visual joyrides that help you explore the furthest reaches of the galaxy.

Inside this 250,000-square-foot facility, you’ll find a cutting-edge aquarium, a state-of-the-art planetarium, and thought-provoking exhibitions spanning six levels. You could easily spend a whole day here taking in all the sights and exhibits and the museum is one of those rare attractions that really has something to offer for everyone.
