Miami is a bay-front city of towers and Cuban cafés, with Miami Beach and its Art Deco District across the water and the Everglades about 30 miles west. The decisions that shape a visit are when to come (hurricane season runs June to November), whether you need a car at all, and how to see the Everglades now that non-US visitors pay a USD 100 park surcharge. This guide sets out official 2026 ticket prices and fares, the climate month by month and current prices across 1,175 bookable tours.
Miami at a glance
| Population | 2,838,461 in Miami-Dade County (July 2024 estimate) |
|---|---|
| Two cities | Miami on the mainland; Miami Beach, with South Beach and the Art Deco District, across Biscayne Bay |
| Art Deco District | First urban 20th-century historic district on the US National Register (1979), 800 contributing buildings |
| Climate | Average highs 24.6 °C in January to 32.6 °C in July and August; 1,712 mm of rain a year |
| Hurricane season | 1 June to 30 November, peak around 10 September |
| National parks | Everglades (west and south-west) and Biscayne (south, 95% water) |
| Sales tax | 7% added at the till (6% Florida + 1% Miami-Dade) |
Most first visits split between two places. Miami Beach is the beach, the pastel hotels of Ocean Drive and the walking tours that start at the Art Deco Welcome Center. Mainland Miami holds the art museums, the street murals of Wynwood, the Cuban restaurants of Little Havana, the Brickell towers and the Vizcaya estate. Free trolleys and the free Metromover link much of this, so a car is optional until you head for the Everglades or the Keys.

How should you see the Everglades from Miami in 2026?
Foreign visitors now pay USD 100 each on top of the park fee
Since 1 January 2026, non-US residents aged 16 and over pay a USD 100 surcharge per person at Everglades National Park, on top of the normal entrance fee. Everglades is one of 11 heavily visited parks with the surcharge. A couple from abroad arriving by car at Shark Valley therefore pays USD 35 for the vehicle plus USD 200 in surcharges. The 2026 fee-free days apply to US citizens and residents only.
| Ticket | Price | Valid |
|---|---|---|
| Private vehicle | USD 35 | 7 days, everyone in the car |
| Motorcycle | USD 30 | 7 days |
| Per person (walk-in, bike, paddle) | USD 20; 15 and under free | 7 days |
| Non-US resident surcharge | USD 100 per person aged 16+ | On top of the above |
| America the Beautiful pass, non-residents | USD 250 | All national parks for a year; holders skip the surcharge |
| Shark Valley tram tour | Adults USD 36, seniors 62+ USD 27, children 3–12 USD 19 | About 2 hours |
If you plan a western road trip after Miami (Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Zion and others carry the same surcharge), the USD 250 annual pass pays for itself at three parks.
Shark Valley is the closest and best first look
Shark Valley sits about 30 miles west of Miami on the Tamiami Trail (US 41). A 15-mile paved loop runs into the sawgrass, with an observation tower at the halfway point, 7 miles from the car park. You can cycle it on a rented bike or take the two-hour narrated tram run by the park concessioner. The gate is open 8:30–18:00, and no vehicles enter after 18:00.
Tram times change with the season: from 20 December to 30 April they leave hourly from 9:00 to 16:00; from 1 May to 18 December 2026 there are four departures (9:30, 11:00, 12:30, 14:00), plus 16:00 at weekends. NPS pages disagree on the visitor centre's hours, so check on the day.
Airboats: only three companies run them inside the park
The park names three businesses approved to run airboat tours inside Everglades National Park: Coopertown, Everglades Safari Park and Gator Park, all on US 41 between Miami and Shark Valley. Many other airboat rides advertised from Miami operate on wetlands outside the park, so read the description if being inside the national park matters to you. An airboat is about the ride itself; the tram and the tower give a slower look at the landscape.
The Homestead entrance in the south, open 24 hours, leads to Royal Palm and Flamingo, where a 90-minute boat tour heads into Florida Bay. The three entrances do not connect inside the park, so pick one per day.
Verdict: For a half day, drive or book a tour to Shark Valley and take the tram or cycle the loop; add an airboat at one of the three in-park operators only if you want the ride itself. Foreign visitors heading on to other big national parks should buy the USD 250 annual pass instead of paying the surcharge each time.

When is the best time to visit Miami?
December to April is the best time: dry, warm and outside hurricane season
Miami is warm all year, so the real choice is between dry and wet. From December to April average highs sit between 25.7 and 28.7 °C and monthly rain stays between 46 and 85 mm. From May the rain jumps: June averages 267 mm and September 260 mm, mostly as afternoon downpours, with highs near 32 °C. Sea temperature off Miami Beach runs from about 22 °C in January to 30 °C in July and early August.
| Month | High °C | Low °C | Rain mm | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 24.6 | 16.1 | 46 | Driest month; sea about 22 °C |
| February | 25.7 | 17.3 | 55 | Dry and pleasant |
| March | 27.0 | 18.7 | 62 | Dry; spring-break weekends on Miami Beach |
| April | 28.7 | 21.0 | 85 | Best balance of heat and dry weather |
| May | 30.4 | 23.0 | 161 | Rain starts; still before hurricane season |
| June | 31.8 | 24.6 | 267 | Wettest month; hurricane season opens |
| July | 32.6 | 25.3 | 187 | Hottest; sea about 30 °C |
| August | 32.6 | 25.4 | 243 | Hot, wet, storm risk rising |
| September | 31.7 | 24.9 | 260 | Peak of hurricane season |
| October | 29.9 | 23.4 | 194 | Storm risk until mid-month |
| November | 27.4 | 20.2 | 90 | Drier; season ends 30 November |
| December | 25.7 | 17.9 | 62 | Dry; Art Basel week early in the month |
Averages 1991–2020 for Miami International Airport, from NOAA monthly normals.
Hurricane season is a risk to manage, not a reason to cancel
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from 1 June to 30 November, and most activity falls between mid-August and mid-October, with the statistical peak on 10 September. If you travel in those weeks, book refundable rooms and tours and watch forecasts from the National Hurricane Center. Most tours here offer free cancellation (89% of the current catalogue), which helps if a storm approaches.
Spring break and Art Basel change prices on Miami Beach
In March 2026 Miami Beach charged non-residents flat rates from USD 40, rising up to USD 100, in South Beach garages on spring-break weekends, set towing at USD 548 for non-residents and ran security checks at beach entrances Thursday to Sunday. Art Basel Miami Beach takes place on 4–6 December 2026, and hotels fill around it. Avoid both if you want quiet South Beach evenings.
How do you get from the airport and get around Miami?
From Miami International Airport (MIA), the free MIA Mover leaves from the third level of the terminal to the Metrorail station. Metrorail reaches downtown in about 20 minutes for USD 2.25, and you can tap a contactless card at the gate. For Miami Beach, Metrobus route 150 runs from the same station over the Julia Tuttle Causeway to Mid Beach, then makes limited stops down to South Beach.
| Option | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Metrorail MIA → downtown | USD 2.25 (USD 2.75 from 1 Jan 2027) | About 20 minutes; contactless card at the gate |
| Bus 150 MIA → Miami Beach | USD 2.25 | Express over Julia Tuttle Causeway, then Collins Ave and Washington Ave |
| Bus 120 downtown → Miami Beach | USD 2.25 | From the Arsht Center over the MacArthur Causeway |
| Taxi MIA → downtown / South Beach | About USD 25–35 / USD 35–45, plus USD 2 airport surcharge | Metered since 2022; no flat fares |
| Metromover | Free | 4.4 miles, 3 loops, 21 stations, about 5:30–22:00 |
| Miami Beach trolley | Free | 4 routes, 8:00–23:00, about every 20 minutes |
| Brightline to Orlando | From around USD 54–79 one way | About 3.5 hours; stops at Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach |
| Tri-Rail | USD 1.25–17.50; weekend day pass USD 5 | 73 miles to West Palm Beach, 19 stations |
Downtown and Brickell are easiest on the Metromover, which is free; officials have discussed charging for it, so check before you rely on that. The Metrorail and Metrobus fare rises from USD 2.25 to USD 2.75 on 1 January 2027, the first increase in 13 years. On Miami Beach the free trolley's four routes cover South Beach, Mid Beach and North Beach.
Hire a car only for the days you leave the city. Rental firms' Toll-By-Plate programmes add an admin fee to each toll invoice, and Miami Beach parking is paid by app (ParkMobile or PayByPhone) and is not cheap. For Everglades, Key West or Kennedy Space Center, a car or a tour is the practical choice.
Verdict: Without heavy luggage, take Metrorail to downtown or bus 150 to Miami Beach from the airport and use the free Metromover and trolley in town. Rent a car for one or two day-trip days, not for the whole stay.
What are the best things to do in Miami?
Walk the Art Deco District with the preservation league Must do· Morning, 2 hours
South Beach's Art Deco District became the first urban 20th-century historic district on the US National Register in 1979, with 800 contributing buildings. The Miami Design Preservation League runs a daily two-hour walking tour of about 1.5 miles from the Art Deco Welcome Center at 1001 Ocean Drive: USD 50 for adults, USD 40 for seniors, USD 35 for ages 13–17, free for children 12 and under.
23 Art Deco walking tours tours on Excurgo · from $7, typical $79 per person · rated 4.9 across 3,601 reviews
Spend an afternoon on South Beach, near a lifeguard tower Must do· Afternoon
The beach is free, but Miami Beach's rules are strict: alcohol in public is illegal, tobacco smoking on the beach brings fines of USD 100 to USD 500, and glass, coolers, tents, inflatables and loud music are banned on the sand. Swim near a lifeguard stand and read the flag: purple warns of dangerous marine life and red means high surf or strong currents.
8 South Beach food tours tours on Excurgo · from $61, typical $75 per person · rated 4.9 across 3,210 reviews
Eat your way down Calle Ocho in Little Havana Must do· Lunch or the last Friday evening
Calle Ocho (SW 8th Street) is the spine of Little Havana. A guided food walk is the easiest way to taste Cuban sandwiches, pastries and coffee without guessing at menus; it typically costs around $75. On the last Friday of each month, Viernes Culturales fills Calle Ocho between 14th and 17th Avenues from noon, free, with a free 7 pm history walk from the Tower Theater.
56 Little Havana food tours tours on Excurgo · from $7, typical $75 per person · rated 4.9 across 13,021 reviews
See the murals at Wynwood Walls, then the streets around them Must do· Late morning, 1–2 hours
Wynwood Walls was conceived by Tony Goldman in 2009 as an open-air mural gallery, starting with a complex of six buildings on 25th and 26th Streets. Entry costs USD 12 for adults, USD 10 for seniors 65+, USD 5 for ages 13–17 and nothing for children 12 and under, and each ticket includes a spray-painting session. It is open daily 10:30–18:30 at 2516 NW 2nd Avenue; murals also cover the streets around it.
38 Wynwood street-art tours tours on Excurgo · from $10, typical $59 per person · rated 4.8 across 3,260 reviews
Tour Vizcaya while restoration keeps the price down Must do· Half day; closed Tuesdays
Vizcaya Museum & Gardens is an estate with a main house and formal gardens. Adult tickets are USD 20 while restoration work continues, down from the usual USD 32; children 6–12 pay USD 10 and under-6s go free. It opens 9:30–16:30 every day except Tuesday. Admission is sold direct, so a reseller package with transport is worth it only if you have no other way to get there.
Cruise Biscayne Bay for the skyline and Millionaire's Row Worth it· Sunset
The bay is where Miami looks its best: towers on one side, island mansions on the other. Shared skyline cruises are the cheap way to see it, typically around $59; a private boat with a captain typically runs around $299 and makes sense for groups that split the cost.
62 Shared bay cruises tours on Excurgo · from $14, typical $59 per person · rated 4.2 across 23,191 reviews
Visit PAMM on a Thursday evening for free Worth it· Thursday after 17:00
The Pérez Art Museum Miami stands at 1103 Biscayne Boulevard, between the Arsht Center and the Kaseya Center. Adults pay USD 18 and seniors, students and ages 7–18 pay USD 14, but entry is free for everyone on Thursdays after 17:00, when it stays open until 21:00. It is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Swim in the Venetian Pool in Coral Gables Worth it· Tuesday to Sunday
Coral Gables' Venetian Pool, in use since 1923, is a historic public pool framed by stone towers and palms. Non-residents pay USD 23 (13 and over) and USD 18 (ages 3–12). It is closed on Mondays, children must be at least 3 years old and 38 inches tall, and ticket sales stop once it reaches capacity, so book online and arrive early on hot weekends.
Climb to the Cape Florida lighthouse on Key Biscayne Worth it· Half day with the beach
On Key Biscayne, the Cape Florida lighthouse was completed in 1825, damaged in the Second Seminole War and repaired by 1846. The 95-foot tower is the oldest standing structure in Miami-Dade County. Check current park fees and lighthouse tour times with Florida State Parks before you go.
Paddle the mangroves on a kayak or SUP Worth it· Morning, before the heat
Guided kayak and paddleboard trips go out among the mangroves and small islands of the bay, typically around $80. Go early in the day in summer, when afternoon storms are common.
18 Kayak and paddleboard tours tours on Excurgo · from $50, typical $80 per person · rated 4.8 across 3,269 reviews
- Worth skipping: a Segway or golf-cart lap of South Beach if you can walk — the Art Deco walking tour explains the buildings far better.
- Worth skipping: a helicopter or plane tour at around $168 unless aerial views are the point — a sunset bay cruise shows the skyline for a fraction of the price.
- Worth skipping: a city sightseeing bus tour at around $155 if you are staying central — the free Metromover and Miami Beach trolley cover Downtown, Brickell and the beach.
- Worth skipping: reseller Vizcaya packages with transport if you can get there yourself — direct tickets are USD 20.
Which day trips from Miami are worth it?
| Day trip | Distance and time | Key costs | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everglades (Shark Valley) | About 30 miles west | USD 35 per car + USD 100 per non-US adult; tram USD 36 | Best half day out |
| Biscayne National Park | Visitor centre near Homestead | No entrance fee | For boaters and snorkellers |
| Key West | About 159 miles, about 4 hours each way without stops | Tours typically around $112 | Long day; better with a night |
| Kennedy Space Center | About 210 miles, about 3.5 hours each way | Adults USD 77, children 3–11 USD 67, parking extra | Only for space fans |
Key West is a long day: about four hours each way
Key West sits about 159 miles from Miami at the end of the Overseas Highway, which fully opened in 1938 and crosses the Keys on a chain of bridges, including the Seven Mile Bridge. Without stops the drive is about four hours each way, so a day trip means eight hours on the road or the bus. Coach day trips typically cost around $112. If you can, stay a night instead.
45 Key West day trips tours on Excurgo · from $25, typical $112 per person · rated 4.0 across 3,982 reviews
Biscayne National Park is mostly water, and free
Biscayne National Park protects 72,000 acres, about 95% of it water, and charges no entrance fee. The visitor centre is at the end of SW 328th Street in Homestead, beside Homestead Bayfront Marina; the keys out in the bay, such as Boca Chita, are a boat trip away (the park lists docking fees there). It suits snorkellers and paddlers more than walkers.
Kennedy Space Center is too far for most day-trippers
The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is about 210 miles north, roughly 3.5 hours' drive each way. One-day admission is USD 77 for adults and USD 67 for children 3–11, parking not included; it covers the bus tour to the Apollo/Saturn V Center and Space Shuttle Atlantis. Organised trips from Miami are expensive, typically around $879, so driving yourself is the cheaper way.
Verdict: With one spare day, go to the Everglades. With two, add Key West but plan an overnight if you can. Leave Kennedy Space Center for a separate trip north.
How many days do you need in Miami?
2 days
Day 1: Art Deco walking tour, afternoon on South Beach, sunset bay cruise. Day 2: Little Havana food walk, Wynwood Walls, PAMM (free on Thursday evening).
Tickets ≈ USD 62 · tours ≈ $75
3–4 days
Add Vizcaya, the Venetian Pool and Key Biscayne, and a half day at Shark Valley in the Everglades.
Tickets ≈ USD 200 more for a non-US visitor · tours ≈ $119
5+ days
Add Key West with a night there, or a Biscayne National Park boat day, and a slower beach day.
Tours ≈ $112
Plan around closing days: Vizcaya shuts on Tuesdays, PAMM on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and the Venetian Pool on Mondays. The 2-day ticket estimate covers the Art Deco tour and Wynwood Walls; the 3–4 day figure adds Vizcaya, the Venetian Pool, a share of the Everglades car pass, the USD 100 surcharge and the tram.

Tour prices are per person from the current catalogue and update automatically; 89% of tours offer free cancellation. Official ticket prices above were checked in October 2026.
Prices in Florida are shown before tax: 7% sales tax (6% state plus 1% Miami-Dade) is added at the till. In restaurants, Florida law requires any automatic operations charge to be noted on the menu and on the bill, and the receipt must show separate lines for gratuity, operations charge and sales tax, so read it before adding a tip.
Where should you stay in Miami?
South Beach for a beach trip; Brickell or Downtown for a city trip
Stay in South Beach if the beach and the Art Deco District are the point: the walking tours start on Ocean Drive and the free trolley covers the rest of Miami Beach. The trade-off is parking and the March spring-break weekends, when garage rates and security checks go up.
Stay in Brickell or Downtown if you care more about museums, Little Havana and Wynwood, or need to reach the airport easily. The free Metromover connects the two neighbourhoods, and Metrorail runs to the airport in about 20 minutes; bus 120 crosses to Miami Beach for USD 2.25.
Verdict: First-time visitors who want the beach should pick South Beach; anyone flying in for two nights of museums and food should pick Brickell or Downtown near a Metromover station.
What rules, safety and entry details should you know?
Know the beach flags and the city's bans
| Flag or rule | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Green flag | Low hazard, calm conditions — still take care |
| Yellow flag | Medium hazard, moderate surf or currents |
| Red flag | High hazard, high surf or strong currents |
| Red flag with crossed-out swimmer | Water closed to the public |
| Purple flag | Dangerous marine life |
| Alcohol in public | Illegal in Miami Beach |
| Smoking on beaches and in parks | Banned since 2023; fines USD 100–500 or up to 60 days in jail |
| Glass, coolers, tents, inflatables, loud music | Not allowed on the beach |
Flags fly only while lifeguards are on duty, and no flag does not mean the water is safe; swim in a guarded area. In hurricane season, follow official warnings and keep bookings flexible.
Entry: ESTA now costs USD 40
Visa Waiver travellers need an approved ESTA before flying; the fee rose from USD 21 to USD 40 on 30 September 2025. Apply only on the official US government site.
Mistakes visitors regret in Miami
- Forgetting the Everglades surcharge. Non-US visitors aged 16+ pay USD 100 each at the park entrance in 2026, on top of the USD 35 car pass.
- Expecting a flat taxi fare from the airport. Flat rates ended in 2022; budget about USD 35–45 to South Beach, or take Metrorail and bus 150 for USD 2.25.
- Turning up at Vizcaya on a Tuesday or PAMM on a Tuesday or Wednesday — both are closed.
- Bringing beer and a cooler to the beach. Alcohol in public and coolers on the sand are banned in Miami Beach.
- Booking Key West as a casual day trip. It is about four hours each way without stops.
- Hiring a car for the whole trip. Toll-By-Plate admin fees and Miami Beach parking add up; rent only for day-trip days.
- Booking non-refundable plans for September. It is the peak of hurricane season; choose free cancellation.
- Tipping twice. Check the receipt: Florida requires any automatic operations charge and the gratuity to appear on separate lines.
Miami FAQ
What is the best time of year to visit Miami?
December to April is driest, with 46–85 mm of rain a month and highs of about 25–29 °C. April balances warmth and dry weather best. June to October is hot and wet and falls in hurricane season.
Should I avoid Miami during hurricane season?
No, but plan for it. The season runs 1 June to 30 November, with most activity between mid-August and mid-October and a peak around 10 September. Book refundable rooms and tours in those weeks and follow official forecasts.
How much does Everglades National Park cost for foreign visitors in 2026?
A car costs USD 35 for seven days, and from 1 January 2026 every non-US resident aged 16 or over pays an extra USD 100. A non-resident America the Beautiful pass costs USD 250 and removes the surcharge, which helps if you visit other big parks.
Are Everglades airboat rides inside the national park?
Only three businesses are approved to run airboat tours inside the park: Coopertown, Everglades Safari Park and Gator Park, on US 41 between Miami and Shark Valley. Other rides may operate outside the park, so check the tour description.
How do I get from Miami airport to South Beach without a car?
Take the free MIA Mover to the Metrorail station and board Metrobus route 150, which runs express over the Julia Tuttle Causeway and then stops along Collins Avenue and Washington Avenue; the fare is USD 2.25. A metered taxi costs about USD 35–45 plus a USD 2 airport surcharge.
Is the Metromover free?
Yes. Metromover is free and runs 4.4 miles on three loops through Downtown, Brickell and Omni, roughly 5:30–22:00. County officials have discussed charging for it, so check before you travel.
Is Key West worth it as a day trip from Miami?
Only if you accept a long day: Key West is about 159 miles away, roughly four hours each way without stops. A night there makes the trip far better.
Can you drink alcohol or smoke on Miami Beach?
No. Drinking alcohol in public is illegal in Miami Beach, and tobacco smoking on public beaches and in parks is banned, with fines from USD 100 to USD 500. Glass and coolers are also not allowed on the sand.
How much do Vizcaya and Wynwood Walls cost?
Vizcaya charges adults USD 20 while restoration continues (normally USD 32) and is closed on Tuesdays. Wynwood Walls costs USD 12 for adults, free for children 12 and under, and is open daily 10:30–18:30.
Why does my restaurant bill include extra charges?
Florida lets restaurants add an automatic operations charge, but it must be noted on the menu and the bill, and receipts must list gratuity, operations charge and sales tax on separate lines. The 7% sales tax is added on top of menu prices.
