So with summer rolled around, you’ve decided a trip to Miami is in the cards. Good for you, but what do you need to consider before you go away?
Now a vacation is a relaxing thought. But for somewhere such as Miami? You’ll want to get so much done and not miss a single thing due to the hubbub of activity and experience on offer.
Below are a few pointers I’ve compiled to find you the greatest spots and sights for the ‘Yacht capital of the world.’
The Right Destination
Miami knows its reputation as a tourist hotspot and you’ll find an extensive collection of hotels congregated in most spots. Booking a hotel near the beach is the best move, with places such as 1 Hotel South Beach having access direct to the beach and an eco-friendly design, allowing you to bask in the warm nature right outside your door.
Staying in South Beach will get you the sandy views. This is admittedly the main attraction to Miami, due to the boardwalk and designer shopping districts, such as Collins Ave which has the best nightlife of the city, with plenty of happy hour pricing all night long!
The location of Biscayne Bay is a great spot for a laid-back atmosphere with its beautiful lagoon and a local marina offering a slice of Miami life. Its also near Cape Florida and award winning beaches. You can find out more about the picturesque area at its website.
Choosing the Best Activities
Visiting the Frost Museum of Science will keep you on the waterfront whilst sending you into the one of the leading scientific hubs of the world. Everyone’s inner child comes out around the cosmos, and the planetarium at the Frost Museum will certainly bring it out with the surround sound and out-of-this-world projection!
Miami of course is known for its idyllic weather all year round. This adds a great beachy option to get into the spirit of Miami by taking a personalised boat trip along the azure waters. You can find easy Boat rental in Miami at BOAT.ME, which allows you to compare prices and sizes, and has plenty of good deals.
The Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is both an exciting and safe choice due to its all year round opening with a entrance into the tropics without having to splurge on a trip there. The Fairchild bears the title of ‘one of the best gardens in the world,’ and this is absolutely true once you see the incorporation of plant and landscape design, existing in a preserved slice of mother nature at its finest.
What About the Unusual?
Miami is full of niche displays and offers. And they won’t be too hard to find when experiencing the city for yourself, littering popular destinations such as Miami Beach and central areas.
One such place is the World Erotic Art Museum, with the biggest display of this particular art in the world.
Be sure to look beyond the typical hotels and resorts, including unique AirBnBs, Campgrounds and RV parks in Miami.
