How to get to Miami
Flights - The Miami International Airport is the most popular route into the city, with direct flights from other major cities in the US as well as European cities. From the airport, you can catch a Uber or Lyft to Downtown Miami or Miami Beach, taking under 20 minutes and costing around $15.
Alternatively, you can catch the Airport Flyer Bus (Route 150) to Miami Beach running every 30 minutes from the airport whilst the MIA Mover is an easy option to get to Downtown Miami.
Coach - You can catch a greyhound or Megabus to Miami from other major cities in America. There are some great Megabus deals from Orlando and Tampa if you book in advance.
Rail - The Amtrak connects Miami to other major cities in the US but is a slow option.
How to get around Miami
The trolley - Miami has a free trolley service that helps you navigate yourself around the city for free. The service takes you between Miami Beach, Little Havanna, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove.

Bus - You can catch a Metrobus for $2.25 around Miami. However, you will need the exact change or an Easy Card - a top up type card that can be purchased from the Metrorail Stations.
Train - There is also a monorail/train that takes you a 21-mile route around Downtown Miami, with trains running every 5-15 minutes and also cost $2.25 for one way.

Taxis - Taxi fares start at $2.95 for the first sixth of a mile then go up by $0.85 for each additional sixth of a mile - so yes, expensive. Stick to ride sharing apps like Uber and Lyft.

Miami has the best coke in the country
Definitely can’t wait to go there
Very helpful video thank you so much
Glad you found it helpful!
This was so helpful - thank you! 🇺🇸 🌴 🌅
So happy to hear that!
Amtrak's are way badass. They are slower than bus but better quality passengers on the train and most importantly the scenery is way better
Yes for sure! We love using the Amtrak for the views and the relaxed pace!
Thanks for that now I know what to do when I get to south beach Florida
Glad to help
Great video 👍🏾
Appreciate it!
I can’t wait to go to Miami, I’m going this March!!
We hope you have a great time!
I live there off 24th and Collins. Closer to “mid beach”. It’s amazing and truly paradise.
oh you lucky thing! Sounds perfect!
Do you rent rooms?
I’ll be in Miami in 2 weeks taking my girl for her 21st birthday 💯
Wow what a magical way to spend your 21st! Have fun!
The public transit is free . But, you must wear a mask. To get on the Bus. I live in North Miami. It's a 80 minutes bus ride to South Beach. On a bad day.
$20 gets you a room with 11 other people in it. Bite the bullet and pay $40 per night in Middle Miami Beach. And stay clear of all Beaches between 17th Street and 5th Street Beach .
I know of a lot of places with nice restaurants. Ocean Drive is not one of them.
Thanks for the tips! 😀
I wanna talk to you
The Free Transit is no more on June 1, 2021. That's for the Miami Dade County buses. and trains.
But, Miami Beach still has Free Trolley Bus routes that cover all of Miami Beach. Be aware that they used small buses and many will be crowded after June 1, 2021.
I'm off Miami tomorrow.. currently in Tampa Florida after having been in Orlando Florida for 7 days ❤
Hope you had a great time!
@@CreativeTravelGuide thank y , I did have a good time for sure but Miami wasn't what I thought it be and I did prefer Orlando and Tampa.
Going in 2 days!
Amazing how the prices for hotels change.
It really is! We went to Miami just last weekend and hotel prices were almost triple! Two nights in a mid range hotel cost us $585!
Great information! 👌 We are waiting for you!😉🥂
Visiting next month for my birthday 😊 any good restaurants?
Me too my birthday on the 12th
Have an awesome day! It depends what you want and your budget but EST 33 is a great Asian-American bbq, Carbone is a high-end Italian place but reserve in advance and Serena is also a popular Mexican restaurant in South Beach
We went to restaurant who include 7$ service charge in the bill
I've been living here for two years and I'm very happy with my choice
Yay that’s great to hear! What is your fave thing to do in Miami?
@@CreativeTravelGuide Before moving to Miami, I lived in a cold city and therefore for me walking and outdoor recreation is my favorite activity. Recently, I have been looking at cruise liners more and more often, but I can't decide to go sailing, because I have seasickness and I worry that even on a large liner I will feel bad.
Can’t wait to go back there again I’m tired of being in France
Lucky. I live in Washington
@@kallmekristiktokchannal9943 lucky you
U said some dorms cost 20 a night omg please tell me where ? I’m on a budget n will be there in 2 weeks please
Hope you have a great trip! You can get cheaper dorm beds in the hostels - we compare prices on Hostelworld and booking.com :) Hostel Brazilian, Generator Miami and Posh South Beach Hostel are decent options on a budget!
Generator Miami.
Whats the trolley that takes you from South Beach to Little Havanah? The map for the Little Havanah trolley route shows that it never leaves the mainland. Has anyone gone from South Beach to Little Havanah? Any suggestions? I have to hit it up this year.
The trolleys take you around Miami but to get over to South Beach you can catch a bus. A few routes go from Stephen P Clark Center
@@CreativeTravelGuide gotcha, thank you!
Love Miami but Hollywood just 20 miles north is better with fab beaches.
?
Haaa don’t go during spring break which is from March through April. Total crap show circus 🤡
is may okay XD?
You should be good. Hopefully things will be open to full capacity
One other thing to know before you go. Miami is not a place for singles.
Really
@@kristopherorellana92 Men out number women there 3-1
@@lextacy2008 i feel like that’s true in most places, just gotta stand out if anything
@@kristopherorellana92 .The main reason for for the 3 to 1 ratio. Is Miami Beach has a lot of Gay Men Tourists. And they are already a lot of Gay Men living in Miami Beach.
Take that information from a straight Male. I totally avoid many Beaches in Miami Beach because. The Gay Men go to certain ones.
Miami Beach is not safe for all straight men by themselves
Miguel was sodomized by a group of men against his will at night
