Miami

South Florida's beach city and cruise port, with Miami Beach across Biscayne Bay.

You can see central Miami without a car. Metromover is free and runs 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Metrorail and Metrobus cost $2.25 a ride, and a 1-Day Pass is $5.65. The Route 150 bus runs from the airport Metrorail station to South Beach about every 30 minutes on weekdays.

The Everglades needs a car or a tour. Its three entrances are not connected inside the park. Entry is $35 a vehicle for 7 days. Visitors aged 16 and over who do not live in the US also pay a $100 nonresident fee. Wynwood Walls costs $12 for adults. Vizcaya costs $20 and is closed on Tuesdays. The Perez Art Museum is free on Thursdays after 5 p.m.

South Beach suits the Art Deco district. Downtown or Brickell suits a car-free first visit and a cruise, because Metromover and Metrorail meet there. Brightline trains to Orlando take about 3 hours 30 minutes. Key West is about 159 miles and 4 hours away by car with no traffic.
