1 Day in Miami
This rapid itinerary focuses entirely on the cultural extremes that define the city. You begin with the opulent, European-style wealth of an early twentieth-century estate before plunging into the loud, fiercely authentic heart of the Cuban exile community. The day concludes in a gritty warehouse district completely covered in world-class graffiti. It sacrifices beach time to deliver a highly concentrated dose of history, food, and contemporary art. Expect to move quickly and rely heavily on ride-sharing to cross the sprawling neighbourhoods.

3 Days in Miami
This plan balances the heavy concrete of the downtown core with the lush, shaded history of the southern suburbs. The first day tackles the urban centre, utilising the elevated train to view the skyline before heading out on the water. The second day slows the pace entirely, exploring the bohemian roots and historic pioneer homes hidden in the dense canopy of Coconut Grove. The final day pivots to modern art and nature, contrasting high-end retail architecture with a dense mangrove forest. It offers a well-rounded look at the city beyond just the famous beaches.
