MIAMI · FLORIDA
Pastel beaches, painted walls, fast boats & the long way to Key West.
South Beach Art Deco, Wynwood murals, Biscayne Bay by water, the Everglades by airboat, and a day-trip ferry to the Keys. Miami in one place.
First day in town
Start on the water.
If you’ve only got one day in Miami, start here. Brickell skyscrapers, Star Island mansions, the skyline from the angle Miami wants you to see it from.
The classics
Miami’s Most Popular Tours
Biscayne Bay, the Everglades, South Beach, the Keys. The shortlist most first-time visitors run.
What you can do in one trip
Three Miamis.
Miami isn’t one place. It’s a city, a swamp and a ferry south — three different trips that share an airport. Plan for all three.
Inside the city
Pick a neighborhood.
South Beach for the Art Deco and the ocean. Wynwood for the murals and the bars. Biscayne Bay for the boats. Miami Beach for the long sand and the boardwalk.
By experience
Or pick how you want to spend the day.
Cruise if you want the skyline. Airboat if you want gators. Jet ski if you want speed. Walking tour if you want murals and a mojito. Helicopter if you want all of it in twenty minutes.
Past the mansions
Miami’s wealth tour, by water.
Star Island, Indian Creek, Fisher Island — the addresses everyone wants to see from the bay. Three cruises we’d put on a first-time itinerary.
An hour west of the city
Where the swamp begins.
Airboats, alligators, sawgrass and silence. The three Everglades trips that get you closest to the wild — and back to your hotel by dinner.
On the walls
Miami’s open-air gallery.
Wynwood Walls and the warehouse blocks around them get repainted every December. Three ways to see them before the next coat of paint goes on.
