Miami trip guide

Plan a trip to Miami

Updated November 2026 · By the Visby team. We make Visby, the trip planner, so we say where other apps are the better fit.

Short answer

Miami is beaches, Cuban food, art and nightlife, with boat days on Biscayne Bay and the Everglades an hour away. December to April is warm and dry. June to November is hurricane season: hotter, wetter and cheaper. Three or four days, plus a day trip to the Everglades or Key West.

Big Dave Tours runs 22 tours there you can book and pay for on Visby. Start a free trip board to plan it with your group.

The essentials

  • How long. Three or four days, plus a day trip to the Everglades or Key West.
  • Getting there. Fly into Miami International (MIA). Fort Lauderdale (FLL), to the north, is another option.

Planning it as a group

  • Book boat days and nightlife for the weekend nights first; they sell out.
  • Put the Everglades on a morning: it is cooler and the wildlife is out.
  • Keep one day for the beach and nothing else.
