Must-see
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Coconut Grove. Built in 1914 for industrialist James Deering, this 34-room Italian Renaissance villa sits directly on Biscayne Bay with 10 acres of formal gardens. It's the one place in Miami where you feel the city had a life before the 1980s condo boom. Tickets run $25, no reservation needed on weekdays.

Food culture
Miami eats Cuban at its core, with ventanita coffee windows and pressed Cuban sandwiches on SW 8th Street in Little Havana setting the daily rhythm. Haitian griot in Little Haiti, Peruvian ceviche downtown, and stone crab claws from October through May add layers. The city eats late, closer to a Latin American schedule, with dinner starting around 8:30pm.

Where locals go
Miami locals skip South Beach and Brickell. The real weeknight energy sits along Biscayne Boulevard between NE 50th and 79th Streets in the MiMo District, inside Little River's converted warehouses north of 79th, and at the ventanita coffee windows on Calle Ocho west of 27th Avenue where the tourist buses don't reach.

Where to stay
South Beach between 5th and 15th Streets for a first trip. You're two blocks from the sand, inside the Art Deco Historic District, and within walking distance of Lincoln Road's restaurants. Budget $180-300 for a mid-range hotel. Brickell is the better pick if you want a city neighborhood with Metromover access and lower rates around $140-220.
