Where to stay

Pick your side of the bay first. For a classic beach trip, stay in South Beach or Mid-Beach for sand, nightlife, and walkability. For an urban base with transit and strong dining, choose Brickell or Downtown for the Metromover, or go artsy in Wynwood. Families often prefer calmer Coconut Grove with parks and waterfront paths.

Neighborhoods to compare

• South Beach: beach time, nightlife, car-free stay
• Brickell: restaurants, upscale hotels, transit access
• Wynwood: street art, breweries, galleries
• Coconut Grove: leafy streets, bayfront parks, families

How long to spend

Three days covers a beach day, an urban day for museums and Little Havana, and a day trip to the Everglades or Key Biscayne. Add time if you want multiple beach areas or to fit in a game, concert, or cruise.
