Miami Travel Tips
Traveling to Miami? Here's What You Need to Know Before Going

Miami's de facto nickname, the Magic City, is a fitting one. The sprawling city is known for its beaches — namely South Beach — and large immigrant population mainly consisting of Cuban-Americans, though those demographics have been changing through the years. It's a city that appears to be altogether on vacation and constantly hustling. It's also, sadly, a city that sees the effects of rising sea levels firsthand and could forever be changed in a matter of decades. And yet, its inhabitants continue to celebrate and praise all that Miami has to offer: its magic, so to speak.
Miami is my hometown, but I often view it through the eyes of a tourist considering the fact that I haven't actually lived in Miami for over five years now. While it is an incredibly tourist-friendly city, there are a few tips you should familiarize yourself with before making your trip down south.
1 Depending on your itinerary, a rental car might be a good idea.

2 You should dust off your high school Spanish learnings.

3 Yes, Miami has history.

4 If you're able to, go to the beach during the week.

5 The best water activities can be found off the beach — at the bay!

6 When you get tired of the beach, visit a museum.

7 Make dinner reservations in Wynwood.

8 If clubbing isn't your thing, then maybe some live salsa is!
